Comment:
I already had a full year of theory when I came into his classroom. However Skeirik is truly excited about what he teaches. Everyday he made sure we understood the material to the best of our ability and then would explain why the boring stuff matters. Theory is difficult but if you want a chance at understanding it Skeirik is awesome as a teacher.

He is so passionate about music, he makes you love it. He is a bit scatterbrained, and can be hard to follow during the first lecture, but he is wonderful. His class always inspires me to be my best. Take him if you can!

This man has the passion to really make his subject matter come alive. Excellence is the only standard he accepts, and so you must work hard accordingly, but in exchange he will do almost anything to help you understand. A truly inspiring man. If you are willing to work hard, an A is within your reach.

Dr. Skeirik loves what he does. He makes theory interesting and breaks things down well. He gets the class to interact rather than listen to a lecture. If you take theory seriously, it takes a lot of work but is a do-able class.

He is never available and the lack of clarity in teaching makes this professor very difficult to understand and the classes not enjoyable.

Dr. Skeirik is great. It's true he gives a lot of work and his tests are pretty hard, but he's brilliant and he's a great guy. He's genuinely concerned about his students and it shows.

Dr. Skeirik is freaking amazing. Theory is a lot of work, and only for those who are serious about it. Skeirik is passionate, friendly, and brilliant - not to mention very entertaining. All around great guy.

Comment:
Ohhhh Skeirik. Gotta love him. He makes normally pretty bland material interesting. My classmates and I have fun laughing about his dramatic antics, but they really do help you remember stuff. Brilliant guy. Really nice. I had 2 years of theory coming into this course so you may be a little lost if you have no theory background. A is possible

I took Dr. Skeirik's Music:Now! class during intersession, however, this class was not really conducive to be taught in one week. He is very passionate about music, but we did very little in class (same boring things over and over each day). A quiz each day, a few presentations and a paper due a month after class ended. An A is definitely possible.

Comment:
Dr. Skeirik is extremely intelligent, but if you aren't on his level, you won't understand anything that he's talking about EVEN IF YOU'RE A MUSIC MAJOR! He is very scatter-brained and almost impossible to communicate with. Homework is never consistent and neither is the class.

Great man, lenient with homework, and incredibly passionate. I would only take music theory if you're serious about learning the stuff though - definitely not a fluff course. If you study, an A is probable.

He's very passionate about music and likes to shock students with some things in his lectures. It's a hard class with a LOT of material to cover. The MacGamut assignments suck. If you don't have a background in piano or theory it's really hard. Work hard and you can got an A.

Sweeet teacher! I loved his energy and passion for music theory. And he's sooo funny. however, had i not played the piano for many years already, i would've been totally lost. Good luck, musical soul!

He knows his stuff, but he can't teach it clearly. He's never around if you need him and his tests are completely confusing. Don't take his class if you are not a music major.

He never explains ANYTHING...he's such a nice man but he goes too fast w/o ever explaining anything and is never available to tutor or help. I had to drop out of his class because I could never follow!
