Doesn't grade fast enough, doesn't tell us if he has uploaded something online or not. Tells us we should know something when we haven't learned it or gone over it. Wouldn't take again.

Comment:
Dr. Tabor is a great teacher and I finally understood Music Theory after his class. He assigns homework so make sure you do it, though he never gives back the assignment. Theory 1 was a struggle while taking it so be prepared for studying to keep ahead with his lecture because he has difficulty simplifying it down for the first of the four classes.

Comment:
In his theory classes, DO THE HOMEWORK. He usually only assigns a few homework assignments per semester, and if you miss one your grade will drop a lot more than you would think. I can't emphasize enough to get on his good side. If you are a likable and respected student to him, he is going to be insanely helpful all the time. Musical genius.

Comment:
Dr. Tabor is simply a musical genius. He knows more about what he talks about than he lets on. Be warned: if you don't respect the simple rules of doing your homework, being prepared and actually reading the material, you'll get lost and it is hard to find your way back. Just put in the real effort and he can really help you succeed.

Extremely knowledgeable in the Theory field, but if you aren't a music major I wouldn't take this class. He's a tough grader but not unreasonable. Pretty much never get any work back until the end of the semester. Pay attention and participate in class and you'll be fine

Seriously? this guy is so annoying and practically never shows up for class...and he's the teacher! and why would you ever talk about other teachers during a class. I don't care about your personal problems, i just want to know the material. but even that he teachers so difficultly its incomprehensible. Terrible!

Comment:
While Dr. Tabor is without a doubt a musical genius, he is only a mediocre teacher. He has great difficulty conveying information to students and is generally unclear. When asked to explain something, often will get the same explanation back. If he would take some teaching methods courses, he'd be an awesome teacher. Awesome Musician != Teacher

Dr. Tabor is amazing! Not as easy if you don't have a good knowledge base, but the class is super fun and interesting as long as you have a basic understanding going in. Ask questions, because he'll always stop to answer them.

He knows his stuff. Don't listen to people complaining about the class being hard. Its music, of course its going to be a challenge. Otherwise you wouldnt learn anything. Dr. Tabor is a pretty solid teacher, if a bit disorganized.

If you are not a music major and you know nothing about music then do not take this class. I have no knowledge of music but I took this class because I thought it would be kind of fun, but it was not. His tests are really hard and he is boring to listen to.

Go to class, pay attention, and ask for help. Dr. Tabor is a good teacher wit a real sense of where the class should be and what should be on a test. However, he can be very unclear at times. Overall, highly recommended if your willing to put forth the effort.

WARNING!!! If you are not a Jazz/Fine Arts lover do not expect to get an A in his class. Tests are unreasonably hard. Projects unreasonable. But the man does know his stuff. I also started listening to jazz. Otherwise this class is good for general knowledge of music that you can whip out at anytime and sound cool.

80 question test for a music 101 class?? Crazy! He is the most unorganized, dry teacher that I have ever had in any class since pre-k. It's sad, but true. Knows his stuff but fails to communicate it well. Now I hate Jazz.

He is a freaking genius and is the most helpful teacher you could ever have. Send an email his way and ask for help once a week and you can't do bad in his classes. They may be hard but you put in the effort and get the help u need u will succeed!
