Comment:
Dr. Zinn is the reason I majored in music. I was too shy to go through an audition. He took me by the hand and MADE me audition. I graduated 30+ years ago with a degree in composition, and I arrange and compose constantly for many local ensembles. Honestly, Dr. Zinn altered the course of my life and even my (musically gifted) children's lives.

He tries to make you look stupid even though he knows he's wrong. Peers down at you with those focals...makes you want to strangle him. tests aren't hard if you remember every word that spews from his wrinkled mouth.

This guy is a first class jerk. He failed me by a half a point. I had a 59.4 and he would not give me a 60. I have been a musician both profiessionally and leisurely the greater part of my life and it did nothing for me. I considered stalking him

He is an awesome teacher for Music of the Non-western world. You'll learn interesting instruments and the culture around the world. Just memorize the instruments and powerpoints and you'll get an A.

Worst and most unhelpful Professor ever! Don't go to class, just go to the TA's section. Learned way more from TA than professor...not very nice and hard with grading. 105 is hard overall!

Don't bother going to his lectures. Likes to teach everything the long way. TA's run the course and are helpful. Simple class for a person with a music background.

IF YOUR LIFE DOES NOT DEPEND ON YOU TAKING THIS CLASS, DO NOT TAKE IT! TA sections more worthwhile, but still extremely difficult for non-music majors and NOT WORTH the aggrevation :( HATED THIS CLASS

Doesn't know a thing about what goes on in his classes. Make nice with the TA, you'll need them. Cake for music majors, harder than quantum physics for people with no background. Avoid this class.
