Jeff is an incredibly kind human who loves music and getting people excited about music. But the way he taught this course was just not all that great. He didn’t really lecture on the important material, and instead just encouraged us to learn the material ourselves from the textbook. We had a weekly canvas quiz that was where i learned the majority of the course material. All of the quizzes you could retake until you got a 100, so it was a super easy class. But it didn’t exactly encourage us to retain the material.

Matthew Taylor is very enthusiastic about his material however it wasn't the best course. The course was very slow sometimes and being a musician, there weren't many other musicians in the course just people who wanted to get the easy credit. This made it hard at times to get anything done and people just messed around all class. One homework assignment due a week which you could basically submit anything.

I really loved this class. The small class size was perfect, as it really gave everyone time to hear thorough feedback on their pieces. Every piece we wrote in this class was very fun, particularly our string quartets. Getting to see a real string quartet play them was an amazing experience. Professor Quayle is a wonderful composer, pianist, professor, and person. He is as knowledgeable as he is kind — extremely. Having already taken Composition I from Professor Quayle in the fall, I so enjoyed seeing myself progress as a composer. This class was one of the highlights of my year.
