This course is probably harder than it has to be, but overall is a good learing experience. This is an interactive course and you will be expected to demonstrate what you learn. His comments are helpful for the most part.

Comment:
Dr. Marks is a excellent conductor of bands for any university. I am not going to lie, he is strict somewhat, mostly with attendance. The music can be fairly similar, but there will be at least one work per concert that requires much effort. I am an oboist, who will be transfering. He made this a difficult process for me.

This man will make you hate music, and is an overall bad conducton. He will try to force you to become a music major, and if you refuse he will make your life hell. avoid at all costs.

Comment:
Dr. Larry Marks is a self-absorbed person who cares about no one but himself. He's your friend as long as he gets what he wants. The moment he doesn't get what he wants he'll track you down at a basketball game, if need be, and tell you off infront of the entire pep band. Avoid the department of music at UNC Charlotte, go to Appalachian State.

Do not take this course whatever you do. It is the biggest waste of time because you already know everything he discusses if you paid attention at all in any music ed class.

The man is an okay teaher. He doesn't practice what he preaches. He is very unprofessional to students at times and hurts feelings. I do not care for Dr. Marks, but his alright i guess

Comment:
Dr. Marks is one of the reasons UNCC's music department is getting better every year. I don't see what these other people are seeing when they say he's a lousy teacher. The man took over the wind ensemble in '99, and from what I understand the difference today is like night and day. Dr. Marks is doing a great job.

People need to give him a break. He's knowledgeable and caring. He makes mistakes, and so do all of the band members. People make mistakes. Give the guy a break and stop calling him out during class.

This is the most uninteresting class that I have ever taken. Dr. Mark's musical selections have a lot to be desired.So does his conducting.I think that it is time for Dr. Mark's to retire. There are numerous people that do not like him for various reasons. Don't be fool by supporting his arrogance.

Comment:
Dr. Marks has a true knowledge for music. Although his music selection is not extremely varied (IE. You WILL play music by Percy Grainger). I recommend that you look past the arrogance of these other posts and recognize the true intellect that he has. He has the Doctorate Degree not the students.

Is there a bigger embarrassment to the music department than Dr. Marks? He is essentially worthless as a faculty member, with ensembles that perform poorly and students that openly mock him. Avoid at all costs.
