Comment:

I have had the privilege to have Dr. Emge in the classroom throughout my degree. His classes were by far the most useful and worthwhile in my career after. He is a tough grader but, he lays out exactly what to do in order to succeed in his classroom. He wants you to succeed just as much but does not cheat you of learning the content. I thank him.

I have taken MANY classes taught by Dr. Emge and he is one of my fav professors at UTT. His classes are tough at times, but he appreciates hard work. If you are struggling with tests, go the extra mile on homework (typed, color, presented well) and he will give extra points for it. Attendance is ALWAYS mandatory but you need to show up to pass.

Comment:

Emge was amazing. Yes, he is arrogant but he is also hilarious and very aware of the fact that most people taking his class don't really care about music. His tests are difficult but he gives you a detailed study guide so you know exactly what to study for. He gives clear guidelines for how to made an A. Follow them and you will no problem. Great.

Comment:

Ge prof! Made all lecture notes available to us shortly after class. Dr. Emge is obviously passionate about teaching, and he uses humor to make some more boring parts of the class interesting. First two tests are tough, but there are lots of extra credit chances. There were a number of us after the last class who thanked him for being a great prof.

I have had Dr. Emge for multiple classes. He is an excellent teacher and musician. Attendance and hard work are a must. He does not accept laziness, but he will reward good work. If you are willing to put int he time and effort to do well, you will learn a lot from him! All the complaints are from lazy's who don't go to class. I knew several!

Great prof. He knows what he's talking about, and he is very helpful if you are having trouble. You must attend his classes, but he is very understanding and will work with you to make up homework if you had to miss an assignment for some reason. Definitely worth taking his classes!

Comment:

Dr. Emge is very knowledgeable about theory and does his best to help his students be successful. Although his classes are hard, it is great because you actually learn stuff. Over the years he has become a better professor, but do not slack in coming to classes or doing homework.

Comment:

I've been taking classes from him for the past 2.5 years.At first I hated him. Not the type of teacher he was, but as a person. He's ok at teaching.I don't always like what music he decides that we play, but you can't please everyone.He is a hard ass, and attendance is a must, but he does know what he's talking about.Beware, He does play favorites.

Dr. Emge effectively turned a blow off class into Music Depreciation. He did not understand that not everyone is a music geek by making students make sense of things way beyond their ability.

I had Dr. Emge for several classes throughout my career at UT Tyler. This man was not only helpful in getting me into college, but extremely helpful in getting me through college! He was like a father figure that didn't get into personal stuff but pushed you to be successful! He is the smartest person I know and I'm so thankful he was my mentor!

Comment:

He knows music. He doesn't accept anything short of your best and gets frustrated when people show up not knowing their parts. PRACTICE! He likes picking people out to play individually, and has no problem embarrassing you if you don't know your stuff. He's hard to please. If you like being praised you won't like him. He's not bad. Good overall

Comment:

He is tough and thats what makes us learn. He does make us think for ourselves and tries to be helpful but its hard when students treat him badly. Yes, he has some faults but who doesn't? Don't just bash just because. If you don't like it, transfer. We are all hear to learn! If you put the time/effort to not bash, you might have done good.
