Comment:

This man should retire. Based on the comments below he has completely lost his touch. Although a sweet old man, he rambles and does not understand that more than half the class can not follow him.

Comment:

He is such a sweet guy there are a lot of tests but if ur class is good then he definitely helps you out by tellng you whats on the test (not in exact words but ideas) and he really cares about everyone and understands peoples situations. his classes are good to fulfill arts requirements.

Comment:

Can be boring sometimes, but obviously loves what he does and knows a lot about music. Wants students to be creative and challenged us to write like the masters. I can't believe he's still teaching....have to wonder if he's just embalmed and that's how he keeps going.

Wow.. can't believe he's still alive! Wonder if he's fallen over tying his shoe in class or if you still need to know pretty much every place he's ever been to in Europe.

Rambles but is an adorable old man. If you put anything related to music on a test, you'll get extra credit. You can learn a lot from this man. Wonderful!

When he doesn't look like he's going to keel over, he's a pretty cool guy. If you take the time to pay attention, he'll help you learn...but he also doesn't take**** from people.

One of the worst teachers ever. He droned on and on about nothing related to the topic. His class is the cure for insomnia. Never again. Ugh...

Comment:

This gentlemen's love for music goes far beyond anything you could imagine.It is because of his "obsession" that he is able to teach this class as effectively as he does.I'm no music buff, but I certainly was during the semester I had him for Mu

He knows everything and "taught everyone". If you know what he expects you'll get an A.
