Mr. Eggleston is by and far one of the greatest conductors and teachers I've ever had. He is incredibly passionate about music and educations. As long as you arent disrespectful, he cares about his students immensely. He is always available for help and advice. I feel so blessed to have been able to study under him.

I loved Mr. Eggleston. Though I will no longer be at Illinois Wesleyan University, Mr. Eggleston was one of those professors you remember. He's nice, a wonderful conductor and musician, and a great mentor and guide. One of my favorite, quirky professors of all time. NEIN!!!!!!!

Comment:

Mr. Eggleston is a great conductor. He can get frustrated at times and has very high standards, but in the end it all pays off. If you take the time to work hard and get to know him, you'll enjoy rehearsals. He's a really caring person once you get to know him.

I'm torn. One of the best conductors of ensemble I've ever seen...but one of the worst teachers of conducting I could have ever imagined.

I admit, I didn't like him when I was a freshman, but you really have to get to know him. I think that he likes to freak the freshman out on purpose, so they will do better. He is a cool guy and a great conductor.

I LOVE EGGY!!!! holy crap. most assuredly the best director i've ever played under. he's tough, but he's amazing. orchestra pieces are stupendous. band music's okay, but heck, it's band music, cant expect much. he's expects a lot, but i love it. not one of those stupid directors who let kids come in late and pluck their bows during class. coo

Mr. Eggleston is one of the best teachers i've ever studied under. He does have a tendency to make high demands, but nothing completely out fo reach. He's very very helpful in lessons, and totally knows his stuff. he's a great conductor as well, and his sense of humor keeps things unstressful. Even though he seems a little harsh get to know him.

Plays favorites, has unrealistic demands for some people. Good conductor but cares more about his reputation than his students.

Comment:

He demands a lot, cause he puts in just as much. Sometimes he could get in bad moods, but it was worth it to be in his ensembles. Picked amazing music to work on. Would help you out if you only ask for it. His sense of humor and joking during rehearsals was something I will always remember

Heaven forbid anyone would ever push you to do great things. You're right, what a TERRIBLE guy. People at IWU are spoiled kids who've all been told they're great, and when someone like Egg comes around to tell them they aren't, stuff like this happens!

Picks on sections in orchestra. Also, I could never tell which beat he was on. He's never very understanding when it comes to attendance.

He plays favorites constantly and can be very moody, expecting way too much at times from certain players. He has brought people to tears in rehearsal as well.

He was so bad about favoritism and your grade never reflected what you did
