Comment:
Good teacher overall. Conducting can sometimes be unclear, but he will usually adjust if people aren't following. Has lots of passion for his job, but can show favorites towards students he likes. Definitely the best conductor at YSU though.

Simply incredible. Incredible leader. Incredible teacher. Incredible person. Constantly reminding us why we are a part of the Dana School of Music, he will stop at nothing to feed and inspire his student's passion for music. If I can be even half the educator he is, I will be happy with myself.

This man is a really bad conductor... he has no real business conducting a string orchestra... definitely more suited for a band. Maybe a middle school marching band. A lot of the material is simply above his skill level.

Comment:
Only an OK conductor. Often difficult to follow. Seems to be more interested in how pretty he looks to the audience (conductor choreography) than how he looks to the performer (conductor clarity). As a person he's political, two faced, manipulative. Makes us serve as lab rats for student conductors; I didn't pay tuition to be conducted by peers!

Focuses alot on the abstract aspects of music like "how it feels", and therefore is a little negligent when it comes to the technical aspects.

Eh, not a bad conductor, but seems to get too involved in social politics with his students. People either love him or hate him.

While I have not had Dr. Gage yet this year as a conductor, he did conduct one piece for the concert band. I also played with him in YSYO for 3 years. Dr. Gage brings so much life and joy to music. He is a great teacher and a great person. I rarely see him without a smile on his face.

If you were in wind ensemble, the man would go through a wall for you. If you were not, but were still a student, you could talk to him. After you graduated, though, you didn't exist if you were not one of the best.

I was with the YSU Marching Pride from Fall 1996 to Fall 2001 and he was the best professor and music director I have ever been privliged to work with. I do miss it very much and I wish him the best in his career always.
