Dr. Schempf is clearly passionate about music history. She made me realize how cool all of it really is. She also worked with me when I was close to failing in my last semester.

One of my favorite teachers at SUNY New Paltz. I had her for Music since 1750 and piano 3. She's like the crazy aunt of college hall. She's engaging, hilarious, loves her students, and knows practically everything about history and piano. She can even play piano upside down while laying on the piano seat! Take her class!!!!

Great teacher. She knows what she is talking about and makes it interesting. She cares about how you do in the class and is very easy going. If you have to take a music class, take one of her classes.

She is the best teacher. She makes piano a lot of fun and she helps all of us become better musicians. She gives us a lot of pieces to practice but it's definitely worth the time.
