Dr. A has a good heart. He just sometimes has unrealistic expectations of us. Chamber is only a 1 credit class. It meets 4 times a week and then he added extra requirements.

Comment:

I never truly knew what was going on in class. It seemed to be very very scattered and not well planned out. He has a good heart but is in too many places in his life that he doesn't seem to be completely invested in one of those areas.

VERY UNRELIABLE! He says he is going to do something and he never follows through! He also picks the dumbest songs to sing! I will never take choir with him again!

Comment:

I have him for Ear Training and Sight Singing and he is very helpful and insightful. One thing he has done that other professors have not is talk us through the program and department and apologized for the general inflexibility of the teachers.

Anyone on here who says he is a good teacher is one of three things... 1) you're a freshman or sophomore 2) you haven't been in chamber choir for a full year 3) you're retarded!

Comment:

Terrible teacher. Many have lost their passion for music because of him. Do NOT take his class unless you are really fond of favoritism and patronization. He's an EXTREMELY religous man, so he'll also try and convert you. Avoid him like the plague.

For anyone else who reads this- the people who gave him good grades are obvious underclassmen... just wait until lies or manipulates you... you won't be so fond of him!

He's arrogant, even though he's not that great in his field.
