Comment:

I took my Orff level 2 from her. It is a good thing I am very secure with myself. She trashed me numerous times and gave me a very low mark. Went on to do my Level 3 at Colorado State and Master's degree all at the 4.0 level. Would not take any classes from her.

Comment:

Good professor. Some people in the class had problems with her but i didnt. You'll have to go to a few concerts on campus and write reviews on them. Easy stuff. She doesn't grade them that harsh. Just wants to know you were there. Tests are written and you are allowed to use notes. Easy... Listening tests are challenging, but insignificant.thumbsup

That woman is crazy. She loves music a little to much. If you do the music papers for extra credit after you are done with regular papers trust you will pass.

That teacher is crazy. She wants you to answer every question that she ask. She is so boring, and the listen are so stupid and hard. She picks her favorite students the "she likes".

DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS...all of the other music appreciation classes are an easy A but not this one...her listening test are killer! she is nice and gives extra credit sometimes and gives you the mid-terms before you take them, but it is a waste of time and VERY BORING!.... so take another teacher or take the class online.

Comment:

If you're looking for an easy A, do not take her. She may be nice, but her class is very hard. There are no online tests, and she does not believe in multiple choice. All the tests are essay. Attendance is mandatory!!! Listening tests are cumulative, which means you can have a test over up to ten chapters worth of songs (impossible). SO hard

Comment:

I absolutely loved her class. Yes the tests are essays, but she gives you the questions a week in advance AND she allows you to use your notes during the test. So, basically you just copy your notes into a blue book. I had no prior music knowledge and I passed her class with an A plus

Comment:

Class was horrible. Nothing made sense. Expects students to know everything about music. Deducts points for absences. Tests are horrendous. All essay. Then you have to do concert reports. If you see her on you schedule, drop immeadiately.

This class was horrible.. She makes you jump around the room like an idiot. Gives you assignments without clear directions then gives you a bad grade for them. She also deducts for absences. Excused or not!!
