Pros: Great class, very much like the previous 4 theory classes, interesting subject matter
Dr. Metz is funny and nice, as long as you can handle him poking fun at you (if he makes fun of you, he likes you). He explains the material well. Homework, quizzes, tests, are just like the previous 4 theory classes. Every week there is either a piano, ear training, or sight singing quiz

Dr. Metz is such a helpful teacher. I have taken three courses with him and am playing on a fourth. He is extremely helpful outside of class and is attentive to everyone's individual needs. His only goal is for everyone to do well- and that is so nice to have from a teacher.

This professor cares a lot about his student's success. He takes time to learn student names, work with students one on one, identify student strengths and weaknesses and encourage and support them where needed. Stylistic Analysis was extremely hard, but he was available for help. He doesn't give the answers but leads each student to the answer by carefully talking through the question/situation. Students who do best in his courses are those who aren't afraid to go to his office hours and ASK QUESTIONS. He won't think any less of you for doing so. He is very very knowledgeable in the subjects in which he teaches. He is also very funny, with a dry sense of humor. He has a great rapor (sp) with students and can take a joke well. Even if he wasn't the only one teaching his classes, I would still recommend him as the instructor for any level Music Theory course. Thanks Dr. Metz for a great education!

Seems like he doesn't really care about the material. Instead of teaching the material for the students educational benefit he just teaches how to get an ok grade in the class.
