Comment:

This woman has a heart of gold. If you love music and work hard, she will turn your world around for the good. She is a gorgeous soul. She has walked to the ends of the earth for me because she saw that I had a true love for music and would do anything to bring my dream to fruition.

Comment:

Okay, people. I heard horror stories about this woman long before I took her class, and none of them are true. No, she can't really verbalize her really quite extensive knowledge well, and no, the class is not well-organized, but who cares? She's a nice lady and she's ready to retire. Cut her a break. I like her.

If you want to get on her good side, ask her how her doctoral dissertation is coming along.

Comment:

Sorry to the last poster, but I found her to be anything BUT helpful. When there were too many registered in the class and not enough teachers to make another one, she cut out students including myself without telling them. It's because of her, I had to take more courses than my limit at once because they wouldn't be given for another year. SELFISH

It's true, she's a bad teacher. Avoid taking classes with her but go knock on her door and ask for help and you'll have a powerful ally. She loves to help students out of jams and has the clout in the department to make just about anything possible.

Comment:

Talk about an obnoxious snob. This woman has no idea what she's talking about and most of all, treats people like a dog. If she could pee on you, she would. She loves to sit at the piano on her behind with her nose up in the air and talk while batting her bug eyes. She'll call on the ones who don't understand the work and embarrass them. Trust me.

Stay away!! This woman is NUTS. Verbally abusive, no structure, no grades. Grades based on if she likes you or not. DO NOT GET INTO ANY CONFRONTATION WITH HER IF YOU WANT TO PASS CLASS. A HORROR show. She should be sent out to pasture.

She sucks. She has a passion, but only for herself. She definately knows what she is talking about but does not know how to teach it.
