Reviews of professor Erin Cooper

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
I really love Dr. Cooper. I'm taking symphony band for a second time this semester and am really looking forward to it. It's a fun ensemble that doesn't require much practice, and the music is pretty decent. There are placement tests within sections but the class is audition-free to get in. Make sure you know your music before the concert. 5/5.

Dr. Cooper is da best!! Symphonic band was great to take just to continue playing without the burdens of demanding literature that may distract you from more challenging classes, especially if you aren't a music major/minor. I'd definitely recommend this one!

She is very understanding when you are sick or have other things going on. That being said, she expects you to practice, as you should if you want to participate in an ensemble. She will make it clear if you are causing the ensemble to struggle, so you need to make sure you know your stuff.

I had her for symphony band and I really enjoyed it. I was worried the commitment level would be too mcuh, but it was very manageable with two practices a week and two concerts a semester. The music is just the right level of training for a band that isn't auditioned. Definitely take this class if you're considering it!
