Comment:

Whats there to say that hasnt been said already here? Scott is one of the best teachers Ive ever had and is my favorite professor at Berklee. He cares about his students and wants to make sure they understand things not only in his class but their other classes too. I also really improved my dictation and sight reading skills in his class.

Comment:

Scott is an amazing person and professor. The content of ear training 4 can be tough but he makes it very accessible for everyone and is super patient with the class. He also gives you plenty of opportunities to get something right even in tests. Easy to get an A if you turn everything in. Plenty of opportunities to get some extra credits too.

Comment:

Scott, is a wonderful human. His approach to Ear training is the way I wish ear training was taught in levels 1-3. Very clear of his expectations for you and you are treated with respect. I never felt the urge to skip, which is impressive cause it's ear training. The book is hard, but he makes it digestible. Take any course you can with this guy.

By far the best teacher I've ever had at Berklee. He is a very funny and personable guy and is the most knowledgeable teacher about their subject material I have met. He really prepares you for the tests/quizzes. Highly suggest to take his performance ear training course, elaborates more on the topics discussed in ET4.

Scott is easily the best professor in the ear training department. He doesn't focus on bookwork (though you will still have to go through it) and he is THE guy for chords. We typically get to tell him what we're struggling with and then we'll work on that for a period. Seriously phenomenal.

Scott is the man! I'm not fantastic at ear training, and Scott definitely helped me out a lot. I'm definitely going to take him for other ET classes. I 10/10 would recommend taking him!

Professor Scott Deogburn is amazing as a teacher, as a musician, as person. I really think that every student at Berklee should try to take a class with him. He is really inspiring.

This guy is a legend. He looks like Colonel Sanders BUT he is a legend. He cares about his students, he makes sure everyone is included in class, and most importantly he is such an empathetic person. He will help you in any way he can for you to succeed in ET. Scott is so down to earth despite the fact that he is the most demanded teacher in ET.

Scott is the BEST Ear Training professor at Berklee!! In ET 1 and 2 I struggled with dictation but after taking his class I have gotten SO much better. I am so glad I was lucky enough to have him as a professor and I look forward to taking his ET 4 class next semester. :) You will get so much better at ear training! Definitely take his class!!
