Reviews of professor Amy Knopps

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
There aren't enough words to say how much I absolutely love Dr. Knopps. She is organized, fair, precise, and just wonderful in every way. I have her for marching band, and there is no one who could do this job like she can. She sees everyone in a 340+ person organization, and she is understanding and also very funny.

Literally the greatest of all time. She clearly cares a lot about the band and the people in it and wants us to succeed. She gives plenty of breaks and is understanding when the weather is poor. Marching band is tough in general and can be a lot of work at times, but Dr. Knopps makes it feel like home.

Dr. Knopps really cares about students and Marching Mizzou. She works really hard to make sure that the band looks and sounds good. She can be a bit much but that's what it takes for M2 to be as good as it is.

You can tell Dr. Knopps really does cares a lot about M2. But unfortunately, her crave for perfection has turned a fun activity into a dystopian nightmare. She has an overarching tendency to micromanage every little thing & completely ignores constructive criticism. Band is supposed to be a "family", she says - but in reality, it's a business.

Truly THE BEST band director in the land. Dr. Knopps cares so much for M2. She so frequently advocates for her students, and makes an effort to know all 350+ of us. She holds M2 to a high standard so that we can be truly great, but also inspires fun. She is highly organized and professional, and by far the best professor I have ever had at Mizzou.

She hurts future music educators more more than she supports them. Which is just ironic and sad

I would highly reccomend doing band with Dr.Knopps.  She cares alot about the band and their health and she truely does show that on the way she welcomes everyone to M2.  She truely does make the band seem more like a family.

Dr. Knopps is such a gem. Love her to death. She really loves what she does and the students she teaches. She plans out her Marching Mizzou and Symphonic Band rehearsals down to the minute! She is easy to contact--replies to emails within 30 minutes to an hour. Dr. Knopps was one of my absolute professors and I can't wait to work with her again!

Dr. Knopps is extraordinarily organized, highly professional, and passionate about Marching Mizzou. She plans each rehearsal down to the minute and sends detailed information each day about the upcoming rehearsal, future performances, and other events. She respects every student and listens to feedback very well. She loves Mizzou most of all. <3
