Comment:
Dr. Burch-Pesses is the best conductor I've worked with, and he's my fifth. He is caring but firm and expects the best out of everyone, and grades you on those expectations (which are valid and based off you're performance). He is kind, funny, and overall a wonderful person.

I took History of Jazz & Rock with BP, and it was a wonderful experience. He's a good-humored guy with lots of stories to tell. He's also incredibly helpful, approachable, and easy going. He didn't seem like that hard of a grader, but he also doesn't doesn't take crap work. Definitely take his class!

Comment:
Dr. BP is an excellent conductor, with reasonable expectations. He provides a variety of music to broaden one's musicality and knowledge. There could be more technical work done, but as a whole, if band sucks it isn't his fault, it's the students and their low self pride to improving.

Dr. BP is the best ever. I love his rehearsal management style...he respects each and every one of his students, and gets respect without having to demand it. Very intelligent...he's absolutely fabulous.

My playing greatly improved while under the direction of BP. And isn't that the point? But on top of that it was such an enjoyable experience -- he seems tough at first, but it's only because he wants you to reach your potential. BP rocks!

Comment:
First impressions are hard to kick, he's massively intimidating at first, and it's sad that it takes time to appericate him, because once you do you find out he isn't such a stick in the mudd, but I understand why most don't like him, I was one of them not that long ago...

you're either a favorite or not... and that pretty much dictates whether or not you enjoy the class...
