Comment:

KK is an amazing professor. Chorus might not always be the most fun class, but she knows what she is doing. I've seen other comments saying that she is sarcastic. Personally that's what gets me through the class. All you have to do is come in knowing your music and you'll do great.

Comment:

KK is a great choral director and arranger with concise expectations. Unfortunately, most of the choir is ill-prepared and most of rehearsal is spent woodshedding notes.

Comment:

KK is really cool as long as you're well prepared. She can get pretty strict, but she's a really good at what she does and really wants to do well. She believes in her students. She picks on the MT freshman kids but its because they're her pride and joy. If you're prepared, she's great. If you're not, you'll meet the "evil twin".

Comment:

Dr. K is nothing more than my IDOL. She rules any room with class, sophistication, and a dash of attitude. An amazing conductor, pianist, singer and person. Anything bad written about her just shows a lack of maturity and an unwillingness to be treated as an adult.

Comment:

Dr. Keating is an amazing woman. Extremely gifted, talented and smart as hell. She demands the best potential of each student, even if the student doesn't work towards that potential. She truly knows everything and is an extremely wonderful resource to go to. Shenandoah is extremely lucky to have a woman of her stature teaching there.

Comment:

It is incomprehensible how anyone could give this woman a positive rating. She does not teach, she simply assigns homework. The next day you review what the right answers are, but she never offers any explanation. I was a Theory/Composition major, so I knew the material already from other parts of my curriculum, and I did fine. But I had to spend a lot of time outside of class teaching my classmates, doing her job for her. Aside from that, she has a very sarcastic attitude that gets annoying.

Comment:

She is amazing at teaching. She gets awful ferocious when you don't know your music but it's for your own good. She knows what she wants in the rehearsal and she is going to get it one way or the other. For conducting, she's ok, not the best, but most certainly better than the other conducting t

Dr. Keating is a wonderful teacher and you can walk away from any of her classes with a better understanding of music. She is also a great pianist, a wonderful teacher, and has a great personality. I hope everyone can experience her class at least once.
