The best professor I've had at UCSB. Took her class over the summer and had so much fun. She made music theory easy to understand for beginners and was so kind. Learning was enjoyable and not stressful since there were no tests/finals and just weekly homework that she would do with you in OH and a project. Highly recommend taking her class!

Tiffany is an extraordinary professor/TA. She is passionate and truly cares about student success. She always encourages students to try their best and never shames them for making mistakes. Her preparation and methods were comprehensive for students, and her music theory method was extremely helpful to me when doing practice problems.

Tiffany was the best TA I have ever had. She teaches in such an understandable way and does not overload the students with work because she know most of them are not music majors. You can tell how passionate she is about teaching music theory.

Honestly, as a graduating senior, I was not super excited about my last required GE and was planning on just taking it P/NP. After my first section with Tiffany I was actually so excited to learn about music. She's incredibly smart, caring, and hilarious. She was actually one of my fav TA's ever. Take her class, you won't regret it.

Had her as my section teacher, definitely helped me out a lot. I was pretty much entirely new to Music theory and she made the content super understandable. Grades really generously and is very chill. Great TA, super friendly, highly recommend.
