Reviews of professor Thomas Echols

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Dr. Echols is a fantastic professor.  I immensely enjoyed all of his lectures.  I really liked how he would play his guitar to give examples of the things we were discussing.  It was helpful to have an application of what the book was talking about.  I would definitely recommend Dr. Echols Music Appreciation, it was a fun and interesting class!

Doesn't seem to respond to emails. LOTS of reading, and quizzes. Overall an easy A but very time consuming. Disrespectful to his students. Would absolutely not recommend.

One of the best professors Ive gotten a chance to work with. He is a fantastic guitar player and is very passionate about teaching you, so be ready to practice on your own. Watching him play is very inspirational and will make you want to work hard to get to his level.

Homework consists of weekly journal/video assignments. There are several items you have to buy for the lessons (e.g. special sandpaper and a guitar book he barely uses). He also has a very specific syllabus he teaches from and doesn't really tailor the lessons to individual students. He does disclose this at the beginning of the semester though.
