Comment:

He was a fantastic teacher earlier on, but he got too old and confused. Left out beats, was very bad at explaining anything and would just use terrible singing. He retired way too late but I'm glad he did because in reality he is good, just got very confused the last five years.

Very very very difficult. He knows his stuff but he isn't the best at teaching it. He is more akin to an excellent performer but maybe a not so great a teacher.

Comment:

He is a great person, but not a great conductor. He doesnt know what words to use so he just kind of sings in gestures instead of saying "phrasing goes to here" or something like that. I have never gotten a comment other than balance issues, nor have I learned anything from his teaching. He is slowly leaving out beats more often because hes old.

Comment:

He is by far my favorite conductor. Through his conducting, it is so clear what he wants from the music. He demands your best and runs rehearsals efficently. He was one of the reasons I wanted to study here. Great teacher!!!

Comment:

The man is barely 5 feet tall and he controls the band with an iron fist. That's true genius my friends. Get into any class you can with this guy so maybe some of it will rub off on you. And he's very cynical, funny, and politically incorrect.

I don't know about all these godly comments but he was always very polite to me. I learned a great deal from him and found him to be very patient with me while I was trying to improve on my instrument.

Comment:

OK. He's a good conductor. But, he is very stuck up and really condescending. If that's up your alley, then he's the one for you. I had a hard time dealing with his love for himself.

This man is a gift from God. He is probably the greatest conductor that I'll ever work with. He is very helpful if you have trouble learning the music, he's there. Take any class you can from this man!!

This man is Yoda and is the most caring individual you'll ever meet. There should be more people in the world like Mr. Wiliamson.

If the man were any closer to Musical Perfection he'd have to be God! Hands down the most incredible musician I've ever known. He's not easy, he's got high expectations, and you'll do anything to meet them. He's the best.
