Ricky is such a great conductor and a wonderful person. He always shows up to rehearsal with a smile on his face and encourages us to to the same. Be willing to work and he'll help you do more than you ever thought you could. I'd highly recommend taking one of his classes. Happy healthy thoughts :)

Every class session was useful and busy. He expects preparation outside of class, and tries to be supportive and helpful (even funny sometimes) in class. Excellent teacher and conductor, but not always available outside of class.

Awesome CI class compared to other ones my friends had. Some of the reading was hard to keep up with but the class sessions were always interesting. Really helped me with my first semester at college.

One of the best teachers I've ever had. (for lessons and classes) Expects work from everybody and lets you know when he thinks you're slacking off. Get on his good side and he'll write you a great recommendation for grad school. Don't get on his bad side.

HARD COURSE for a begining class in music. If you take it, you MUST go to class to get all the info for the tests. Nice guy and wants to help you outside of class.

Conducting class was really amazing! Lots of outside work required and some people were lazy but the class sessions were great.

Tough but good (sometimes scarey). Knows his stuff and expects students to do the work, attend class, etc.

Comment:
Very well-educated, but teaches applied lessons through intimidation and classroom courses as if we were children. It really shows that he is a clarinetist first and cellist second. He doesn't expect music majors to have life outside of Craig Hall (this includes other academic studies). Claims to want to help you, but piles on stressors.

Great teacher! He is very controling, and will keep you from doing some of the things you want to do, because he doesn't think it's important. Future students should learn to say the word "NO".

Great clarinetist, good teacher and knows his music. However, if you get him as a teacher don't let him get too much into your personal life, he will try to run it, and will even try to convince you that the decisions you will make are wrong.

VERY set in his ways. If you're on his good side, you'll do fine; don't get on his bad side.
