    MUS20A . Brecher B H 4 Months Ago

    Very chill professor if you need a art GE this is nice without any actual written hard work and he'll teach you healthy way of singing

    MUS20A . Brecher B H 2 Years Ago

    Worked on one piece (art song) over the entire quarter, covering how to learn a piece, classical vocal techniques (voice projection, vibrato, breath support), ornamentation, with one end-of-quarter performance. Feedback may be limited but prof genuinely wants to help. Not actually passive-aggressive; never means things personally with criticism.

    MUSA238 . Brecher B H 11 Years Ago

    The most negative, passive-aggressive vocal program I have ever witnessed. Students need to stand up for themselves. Being abused does not prepare you for the real world.
