Reviews of professor Brian Stevens

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
I enjoyed my time with Dr. Stevens. He did make choir go by fast and it was enjoyable. He does seem to have bad days, and can sometimes be kind of grumpy. As a conductor, he does not have very many notes for us which is sometimes troublesome and odd, but he also gives us lots of praise when he hears something he likes, which is nice. Join!!

Dr. Stevens is a passionate hardworking man. Biggest complaint is that he can over work the chamber singers. Standing for the entirety of our hour and a half rehearsals is not a fun time. I do enjoy his positive attitude towards the choir.

He is really a bit too arrogant to be an effective collaborative artist, in my experience with his teaching. He cares immensely, but is in my opinion not willing enough to be flexible and respect students as he expects to be respected.

As people have said before me, it is hard doing an hour and a half rehearsal standing the entire time after a full day of classes. He is very serious about choir and is very knowledgable. I feel if you talk to him personally outside of choir, his, as someone put it earlier "arrogance" goes away. He really cares about the students and how they are.

He is an amazing conductor and musician. But, he spends way more time talking about himself than asking about how his students are doing. We have had to stand for an hour and a half for a rehearsal multiple times on stage (with bright lights), and it was really hard! His personality is one that demands respect, but it only goes one one way.

Professor Stevens has his heart in the right place majority of times, but when he chooses his music its a little mid. The harmonies in the songs he chooses are fun, but the lyrics are always some wack thing. He isnt the best conductor, and he never has specific notes for us, which can get confusing. Over all he is a decent person though.
