Reviews of professor Hal Ott

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I have had the privilege of studying with Dr. Ott for 5 years. He is an amazing teacher in every way, and truly cares about his students. He went out of his way to help me with a project for another class. Without his help, I would have failed miserably! Dr. Ott not only helps his students grow as musicians, he teaches them valuable life lessons.

He was one of, if not my favorite professors. He was always incredibly kind and funny, and was willing to work with me when I was falling behind. When I struggled with my mental health, he was the one that reached out,  helping me find the resources I needed. He's an excellent and knowledgeable instructor, and just an enjoyable person to be around.

I have worked with Dr. Ott as a member of the flute studio for more than a year and he is incredibly caring, passionate, and smart. This given, he is a very tough grader and often expressed different standards between his students. You have to work hard in his courses, but it is worth it in the long run!
