Prof Rone! what can i say this guy is amazing ! he truly makes you want to keep going in life. he's a true inspiration. never be afraid to ask for help as he will break it down for you. i would honestly take it him again. *Gentle Snowflakes* best professor very helpful. i can thank him for future success.

Vince is truly a great teacher! He is always open to help you when you are struggling and gives excellent feed back on papers. He plays awesome music and is kind of sarcastic but you get used to it. haha. He referred to our class as 'Gentle Snowflakes' but I don't know why...ALSO don't forget to bring two drafts on RR day!!!!!!

Incredible teacher, can't go wrong with signing up for a class that he is teaching.

Vince had quite the personality. You could tell that he was passionate about both playing, studying, and teaching music. Textbook was not mandatory, but listening homework made me want to fall asleep. Lectures seemed endless at times, but his jokes kept me entertained for the most part. There were very difficult listening questions on tests/quizzes

THE BEST Professor EVER! He makes you want to attend lecture, tests are fair, and he is simply a great guy and teacher. It is unfortunate he will not be teaching this class anymore but go meet him because he is incredble! I wish every subject was taught by him!!!!

Well he's just awesome. So talented and passionate about his subject, one of the best teachers I've had.

Incredibly funny teacher, his impressions were awesome. Very clear in his lessons and never left anyone behind (would wait for everyone to finish taking notes). Maybe the most passionate Professor I've had about his subject. Really nice in person too. I highly recommend taking him for any class really. Although very critical with papers, be careful

HE'S SO FUNNY! Don't you want to be called a snowflake every lecture? super interesting lecture and the essays and tests were SO EASY. just listen to the music and you will get an A. it's not that hard to listen to a CD!

Hands down best professor I've had in my 3 years so far at UCSB. Entertaining, funny, lively, and passionate about music. Never wanted to miss a lecture as they were almost never boring. Walked away with a lot of knowledge at the end of the quarter.

my favorite professor since at ucsb. so funny, enthusiatic, and entertaining. made me enjoy listening to classical music. dont take music 15 with anyone else!!!

One of the best teachers I've ever had. Fun, entertaining, lively, grabs and keeps your attention, funny, and anything and everything else you could want in a teacher. He's great, the class is great, and I honestly wish that I could take the class over again, it was that mindblowingly awesome.

BEST class ever! Rone is amazing- I had no interest and no knowledge of classical music, and I ended up looking forward to his lectures and class. Incredibly helpful with email, office hours. Lectures are clear and entertaining. He makes jokes and makes the class incredibly entertaining. Called us gentle snowflakes and made us laugh each lecture.

We were his first big lecture, but he did such a phenomenal job teaching, it seemed as if he had been teaching for years. He has a great sense of humor and is very passionate about what he's teaching. You'd never want to skip class because you'd miss out on an hour and 15 minutes of awesomeness.

He called us Gentle Snowflakes. Every class. And then he found out how to say it in German. So we were the Gentle Shnifloogan. One time, he made a reference to Harry Potter, quoted Lord of the Rings, and showed a clip from Family Guy, all in the same lecture. I was in love. he was always interesting to listen to, & he taught the material well

Dude, this guy is so awesome. I've never fell asleep him his class and that's really saying something here. His humor keeps the class alive and kickin. I honestly wish he taught all my classes at UCSB. The class is easy if you pay attention and do all the reading, as you should be doing. Take his classes, you won't regret it.

Vince is the dude. 'Nuff said

Professor Rone is great! His lectures are clear and interesting and he himself makes so many jokes that I find myself looking forward to his class!

He was so funny. I was honestly excited to go to class and the lectures went so fast because I was laughing so much. Definitely my favorite teacher this quarter. He really explains the material well and knows what he's talking about.

He is an amazing teacher. I had him as a TA Spring quarter and hands down, he was my favorite professor at this school. He is super funny and knows so much about music. He is passionate about what he teaches and makes sure everyone understands the material. His sarcasm made going to class that much more enjoyable and he is really there to help

awesome!!
