Comment:

Not respected by most students... especially women. Helps students if it benefits him. If I wasn't interested in my major I would change it because of him.

Comment:

Mark Ensley has a lot of tension in his conducting. His behavior is not professional and he does not treat students fairly. He blames many errors on members of the orchestra rather than his own conducting. Making even one mistake in his orchestra is unacceptable to him.

Amazing professor. Manages to teach, and actually CARE about students. The other professors in the School of Music could learn a thing or two about his teaching style. A truly talented man. BUT you WILL do homework!! And lots of it!!

Comment:

He makes Diction class fun. Diction would be really boring and tedious if it was anyone else. He keeps the classtime light and relaxed while still making sure we learn the material.

Comment:

Mark is a very good opera director, and he can be great to work with. He does, however, have some pretty serious mood swings, so you just have to watch out for that- you know, just know when isn't the best time to approach him with "I'm missing rehearsal today"....
