Comment:
Dr. Mahr is very interested in hearing your voice as a composer. If you take his comp class, be ready to be challenged and also to grow as a musician. And keep up with your assigned listening ;)

Comment:
I also had him for comp 3 and adv. conducting. Discompassionate? I think not! He gave me so much encouragement in my writing and conducting. I'm still writing today, 12 years after taking his class. He had HUGE shoes to fill, taking Mity's place, and he has done so, ably and competently. A definite gem, and an asset to St. Olaf!

Comment:
if not a total "bandie" he'd rather see you gone. dis-compassionate ah. after my year in his regime i have never played my clarinet again. i loved to play, he destroyed that. he should go deal with professionals, not young college students. he turned me away from music.

Mahr is an awesome conductor and he's hilarious, but he can also be intimidating and make you hate your life. Especially if you are insecure about your playing.

Comment:
Never have I encountered such an expressive and passionate man. He is creative and extremely knowledgable about comp. techniques, having deep love for the wind ensemble and his players. i'd appreciate, though, if he taught more specific comp. techniques and styles vs. allowing complete freedom.

how much cooler can a guy get? he makes the funniest comments, but he's also very passionate about music-making. knows how to express to the band what he wants and how to work it out of the group.

A powerful conductor and talented musician. He has yet to truly challenge an ensemble beyond its limit, however.
