Reviews of professor Brian Buch

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Brian is a tough but forgiving teacher who does all he can to make sure you've understood the concepts taught in class. He's a really funny guy with a laid back attitude that sets a great vibe. Highly recommend if you want a good tonal harmony teacher

Brian is amazing! He explains material very well, makes sure everyone understands it, but still doesn't stop the whole class. Very much recommended

Made an otherwise tedious class not only bearable but fun! Genuinely got better as a composer. Doesn't use a textbook and lays everything out  comprehensively. Gives great feedback, and he's an amazing pianist so you'll always get to hear what you're working on! Really funny guy too. Just show up, do the homework, and be ready to get called on.

He keeps class chill and will always correct your homework or assignments. His lectures are clear and don't give you any extra confusion. He grades the homework but as long as you follow the rules, you will get an A. The midterm is take home and sometimes we get out of class early. Homework is due only once a week. No quizzes.
