Comment:
What she discussed in class was a little too advanced for a music non-theory class without any prerequisites, but her grading was very lenient. She herself is also very well-meaning and genuinely concerned for her students. Excellent all around, and an easy A so long as you're imaginative.

Comment:
She is very knowledgeable about her field, and brings a lot of energy to her lectures. Her comments are very helpful - she completely marks up your assignments, and you still get a good grade. She sometimes goes on tangents but at least they're interesting.

Comment:
Brilliant, a good person, and extremely helpful. She is almost obsessively concerned with her student's progress- if you go and see her (which I highly recommend), she will lead you to the answer. Her antics alone make class interesting, but be prepared to put in a lot of time on assignments.

Great teacher. You will learn a ton in her class. The class itself is hard, but its easy to get a good grade if you do all the work. She's really smart and great at music theory.

Comment:
I had her for the Beethoven class. She was a a fantastic teacher. Extremely enthusiastic and extremely knowledgable. Her main goal was to have people learn and not just to give them work so she was very leniant on work and let people use a cheat sheet for the tests

Comment:
Wow! This class was harder than any of my physics classes. But she is very enthusiastic & very helpful outside of class. She definitely challenges you, which is hard but great if you're up for it! Lots of work, rigorously graded. I learned a lot.

Comment:
This class was beyond horrible. It starts out alright, but then she throws four-part chorale harmonization at you and just expects you to know how to do it, without very much explanation from her at all. She's too smart to be teaching this class.
