Love Mary Jo! I've taken a few of her classes. She expects a lot, but only because she wants you to do well. Very approachable and helpful. Great to get to know on a personal level, not just a face lecturing at you. Take any class you can with her.

Mary Jo is a great prof. She cares about her students. As long as you are not on your cell phone during class and pay attention and do as she says you are fine. Only allowed 1 skip day though.

Great Teacher, this is a choir for people that do not really have a lot of music experience but love to sing, she teaches you how to read music and sight sing, and if you have difficulties, she is always willing to work with you!

Comment:
This class was fun and mostly enjoyable. It was, however, far easier than high school choir and far more demanding. You are expected to give your nights and weekends to this choir to sing pieces that are too easy for college choirs to be doing. Mary Jo is not very understanding and tends to be rude to students.

Mary Jo is a great prof & cares very much about the choir! No tolerance for slackers/skippers. However, if you're used to singing at a higher level choir, be prepared to be patient.

Bot takes some getting used to, but she's a great Prof. She doesn't take crap or unexcused absences, but if you have a note and proof, she'll let you off. Just listen to her during class and respect her, and you'll have a lot of fun.

Awful teacher with no heart! She does not care if you were in the hospital or if you have a death in the family...you arent in the class you fail. Being a top class singer and i know every song while the others dont...i get all the blame because i was in the hospital. thanks....

Mary Jo is the best teacher! She's very friendly and approachable, yet she won't take crap from people. She can be tough but fair. She is my all time favorite teacher at State! I'm sad that I can't be in choir with her anymore.

Great teacher, she really enjoys teaching the music, and the class is fun. If you are only in it for the credit, you will be misrable, but if you truly enjoy music then You will have fun!

Great way to stay involved in music especially if you aren't a music major. Not as demanding as concert choir but Mary Jo still makes sure we give a high quality performance that we can be very proud of. Mary Jo is the kind of person you need to get to know just because. She will leave a positive, lasting impression on you.

Mary Jo is a wonderful human being and I love her to death. However, if you are a serious musician or are used to singing in good choirs, DO NOT take this class. It will drive you mad.

Mary Jo is so nice and personable. The absence policy is indeed 2 per sem, but she is very understanding and flexible and will work with you so your grade doesn't suffer. She's smart and passionate about music. I definitely recommend her!!!

Mary Jo's a great teacher... choir is tons of fun, and she's an awesome person. The only drawback is that you're only allowed 2 absences per sem and then your grade starts dropping. I definitely recommend taking choir with her though.
