You do need to learn the material to get an A, but Professor P makes it as easy as possible for you to succeed. He doesn't assign almost any work outside of class, and there's no textbook to waste money on. His lectures are a lot of fun, and although I really knew nothing about jazz going into class I've learned a lot and had fun doing it.MUSC1112 2015-12-18 17:31:15 +0000 UTC
Dr.P is a great professor. I took this course as credit to fill an elective. However, he truly makes his students enthusiastic about the course. If you show up to class you will do well! Make sure you do the assignments. Very reasonable to achieve an A in this course. Highly recommended!1104 2014-12-09 12:59:04 +0000 UTC
TAKE. THIS. CLASS. If you go to a majority of the classes you won't regret it. It's a SUPER easy elective and he's ridiculously funny. Best prof/teacher I've had in a long time and I'm only a freshman. And don't listen to the bad reviews b/c those people don't come to class and miss important info.JAZZ 2013-11-21 12:23:44 +0000 UTC
It's a very easy course, but prof. Price keeps it interesting, and I feel I've learned a lot. in fact more than I would have needed to get my grade.MUSC1101 2012-11-27 20:09:59 +0000 UTC

simply AWESOME !AFAM1113 2010-12-07 17:22:41 +0000 UTC
Price was the man. If you show up to class most of the time, you'll get an A. It's that simple.MUSCJAZZ 2010-04-07 07:47:31 +0000 UTC
Really good class! Professor Price is AWESOME. He was extremely fair with exams and wants everyone to do well. He is what every teacher should be like. Highly recommend.JAZZ111 2010-01-04 12:52:03 +0000 UTC
Dr. Price is the man. Very passionate about jazz, and makes the lectures interesting. Sometimes does live performances, which is a nice break. The review sessions are VERY helpful. Weekly online quizzes are easy, and just do the 3-sentence discussion board requirement each week, then review your notes for the exams (after the review sessions).MUS112 2008-12-15 19:38:53 +0000 UTC
This guy is sooo cool. Students barely show up to his lectures but I do 75% of the time because he is so passionate about Jazz. He makes the class fun at times with his beboping skills. His jokes are funny and he's very reasonable with things. Complete the easy requirements. He's so sick.JAZZJAZZ 2008-11-10 13:01:43 +0000 UTC

Funny, interesting, passionate, and easy. Price is the man!MUSU112 2007-04-13 09:20:45 +0000 UTC
Professor Price is great in class and the class itself is not very hard but when he is not lecturing he can be very mean and condescending. Great lectures but he cant seem to handle other,more administrative, aspects of teaching. He can be very harsh with grades and make ups.MUS115 2006-11-30 17:44:00 +0000 UTC
he is the coolest teacher ever!!! there is no way to get below A-. because this class is super easy, but you will learn a lot because he is passionate about music and will expose to you the best of music. go to concerts for extra credits. he will play some sick piano tunes in class. he is the greatestJAZZ101 2006-10-30 20:25:54 +0000 UTC
Professor Price = awesome. His lectures are very interesting and he always tries to get kids actively involved in the class, although he doesn't force it. He's always making jokes and providing insightful information that makes you think. He reads from the actual exam in review sessions. There's nothing more you could want.AFRAMERMUSIC 2006-04-04 22:28:48 +0000 UTC
