so at first i loved him. funny chill dude. but i can tell you hes a great guy but a horrible teacher. i had him for lit and theory and he just goes wayyy too fast. attendance is MANDATORY and so is hw, which is super hard and he grades it but never goes over it. nice guy but not a good teacher.THEOR101 2010-05-07 00:05:45 +0000 UTC
He barely assigns homework, which is cool in the beginning but you never really get to practice/apply the stuff you're learning until the test. He teaches material and immediately moves on, but he is very clear and goes over the material very well.MUSI1203 2010-04-15 17:56:20 +0000 UTC
had him for theory and for music lit. really funny guy, wears the same sweater every day. he makes you want to learn. theory wasn't too difficult, he's an easy grader, sometimes goes a little too fast but hes an awesome guy. lit was just impossible. too much information to stomach at 8amTHEOR1 2010-03-01 18:01:02 +0000 UTC
An excellent theory teacher, so entertaining and really clear when helping you with music problemsMUSC203 2009-10-29 16:06:18 +0000 UTC
i would say he is a good professor. always makes sure his students know the material and is clearly enthusiastic about teaching. killer piano player pretty funny too. you really just have to work hard to do well in this class. i think he is a sexy jewish man.THEOR2 2009-04-15 18:40:26 +0000 UTC
Had Johnson for Theory 1. He's quite a good teacher. The best thing is that the work is easy but he's still getting the information across. He takes input from the students seriously; the final project was pretty much decided by us.MUSU201 2008-11-16 21:17:16 +0000 UTC
The fundamentals of music theory are sometimes hard to stomach at 8 am, but I've never missed this class because I don't think I'd get anywhere without Professor Johnson's lessons. He really knows what he's talking about, has a goofy charm, and makes sure that we know our stuff. His tests have gotten harder as the semester has progressed, but he ofMUSU203 2008-04-09 19:33:15 +0000 UTC
He is an awesome teacher and is VERY VERY easy...there are lots of grades and as long as you go to class you are going to get a good grade. Funny guy and very flexible and wants his students to be sucessful...didnt miss a class (and it was 8 am)MUS203 2008-04-09 16:26:36 +0000 UTC
He is really smart and high energy, but unfortunately his subject is boring. This class was required for mus ind. What he loses in subject matter he makes up for in personality and intelligence.MUS308 2007-12-18 23:42:14 +0000 UTC
he's awesome!MUS203 2008-03-31 15:21:04 +0000 UTC
