Hey is a really nice guy and really knows his stuff. Only think I didn't like is how he allows people to talk and be rude in the back of the room without asking them to stop. His reviews can be pretty vague so make sure to ask him questions. He tends to ramble but it's all pretty interesting material. Just do the work and it'll be an easy A.

He is a very nice guy, really. He can be a little bit intimidating for sight singing but never lets you feel too uncomfortable in front of him. Non singers beware, though. Dictation will be your saving grace.

Wonderful teacher!! If you ever get the chance to have him as a teacher for any subject, take him! Very clear and goes step by step to understanding concepts. A very patient and humble person. I learned so much from him.

Such a wonderful teacher. I took him for Basics II in the summer, and believe me, I am horrible at theory. I have never learned so much in so little time with a teacher. He is very clear and very helpful. He has so much patience and is very understanding. He really helped me understand the material and I wouldnt recommend anyone else but him! :)

Great Prof! He is a really sweet guy and keeps youir interest too.Took him in the summer and he told us not to buy a book. Have to write 8 papers about CDs you listen to and musicians etc. but they only have to be 1/2 page long minimum and he grades super easy. Has 1 midterm and a final. Made an A. Take him!

He is a great teacher. I loved how he brought in specialists on each instrument instead of just teaching them from a book. It really contributed to the course and the students' understanding. This is definitely a class that will be helpful later.
