Comment:
Fantastic organ professor. Come to Grove City to study with Dr. Konzen and learn on the Kimball and Noack instruments. Recent graduates have gone on to Yale, Indiana, and Notre Dame for more organ study. The opportunities, resources, and attention at GCC for organ students are unparalleled.

Comment:
My favorite memory of Konzen was when he got mad at students for arriving to a morning class 5 minutes late even though he usually arrived 15 minutes late. He proceeded to scream at all of us and then threw a bunch of records at the class. I learned nothing in the class except to stay away from him. He is also a terrible orch director.

Goes off on random tangents a lot, talks about food a lot, likes to hide actual information somewhere with these random things. Needs to let EVERYONE know about upcoming tests and hw assignments, not just 2 people.

This man could use a course in ethics and a good slap upside the head for the grief he causes students due to his pompous arrogance, favoritism, and unprofessional attitude.

LIke to belittle others. This pathetic slob gets his kicks from making his students feel like crap. He likes purple turtlenecks way too much. Don't try to learn how to conduct in from of him because he will make fun of you in front of the whole class.

Needs to realize that not everyone thinks the organ is God's gift to humanity. Chill out, man.

Dr. Konzen is a great organist and a great teacher. I've already improved in the few short months with him. He pushes me outside my comfort zone but that's what I need!

He is a phenomenal musician, but a complete disgrace to the school and responsibilities that come with being an educator. Pompous, favoritist, unfair, and extremely poor role model. What a shame.

Besides being an unhelpful pompous jerk, Konzen also weighs in as a totally ineffective teacher with an agenda against students. Stay out of his radar, because you don't want his dirty hands on you.

Definitely the best musician at Grove City College. By far the best conductor and most knowledgeable as far as QUALITY repertoire is concerned. Not always clear, but at least he picks good music.

Konzen needs to have some courses in pedagogy...... Other than that, he is fairly smart about music.... can be abrasive most of the time.

Wow, what a disgrace to the music dept. He's a horrible educator and cares nothing for his students. He verbally berates anyone who makes a mistake. Quite arrogant too. Needs to retire.
