Take this class! Not only is it extremely easy to get an A, but you truthfully learn all the information. She gives alot of extra credit. She very nice. You dont need the book if you attend her class. If you dont take her, your passing up an A and actually have fun learning.
This teacher is very kind, funny, amigable, respecful, fun and helpfull. She understands if your having problems in your life and we'll give you some slack if needed be. Also, her class ruitine is very well balanced as she has group time, fun time and "time to be seriouse" time. I highly recomand taking her for any class that she teaches.
Professor Rodriguez is extremely knowledgeable; makes every class a new experience. She is eager to teach and really engages with the class. She is cordial, sophisticated, unperturbed by daily misfortunes, she finds a way to make the best out of every situation. Professor Rodriguez is very kind and supportive; she lifts her students to new heights.
very nice lady. she give us notes so all you do is write them down and study. So u dont have to come out of your pocket for the book. she gives extra credit so u can bring your grade up. If you fail her class strait up your just being dumb because you didnt study for her test and quizes.
Ms. Rodriguez is a great teacher. Her lecturing is fundamental and builds confidence in me into reading the book itself. She is very positive at what she do to reach to our fellow students.
She is a very good professor;she loves music and transmites it to her students. It is very easy to get A.
Miss Rodriguez is a fun and interesting teacher.She has an extremely supportive attitude when it comes to extra credit assignments.Moreover,her quizzes and exams are quite simple,they only require a good understanding of her class which she finds a way to make really clear and interesting.That teacher has a great sense of humour as well.(Davidson)
Very nice teacher! Would highly recommend.
Proffessor rodriguez is very knowledgable in music, very helpful, she has a very understandable way of teaching, she is very smart in conveying the information. the fact that she makes the class period very interresting, the students never pretend to leave the class early.
Very good professor, she very patient and gave what needed to understand where music from and to pass the course.
very easy professor, she is knowledgable when it comes to music. She's also an amazing pianist.It's impossible to fail the class honestly.
Ms.Rodriguez is great! She is experienced and knowledgeable in all aspects of piano and music history. She is very clear and gives work that will definitely improve your piano skills. I recommend you take her if you want to learn to play the piano!
she is a real cool teacher! i love her!
It's funny how everyone dislikes her and mentions how condescending and rude she is, yet it fails to show up here. She's extremely impatient and enjoys making people feel like they are less than her. One more class with her and I am done. I have taken all class pianos with her and she is awful. Picks favorites, moody, etc.
Ugh. Really bad.
This class was very interesting and easy. She teaches things very clearly and will help a lot with quizzes and tests. The textbook is not necessary because she bases her quizzes/tests on her lectures. I definitely recommend. She increases your interest in music as a whole.
I have taken MVK1111, MVK1112, and MVK1311. She is a great teacher very well committed to educating people about music and piano. Bold sometimes yet not rude, instead kind most of the time. Encouraging students to learn, she'll work with you with whatever level you are in.
Great teacher! Students take advantage of her to quickly. She is super helpful and understanding. Loves to teach music and loves to show clips on youtube. Take the class, go to class. All her test are super easy. Take notes as all the test are based on her notes. Got an "A".
This professor was super nice and helpful! Not to mention she is a cutie. Highly recommend her class. Easy A, just go to class test are straight from her notes.
Can't anyone see this is her writing her own reviews? Just look at her writing style. ("Students take advantage of her too quickly?") Regardless, I will write down some constructive criticism. Her class is relatively easy, but she is not cut out for teaching. If you must take the class, take it. Just know that she is impatient and somewhat rude.
EEEEAAASSSYYYYY A. play some scales, learn some pieces, go to class. easiest class i ever taken.
She a good teacher and her test are reasonable. So far as her being rude I've never noticed it, she is very flexible, easy to talk to and I have learned a lot about, even though it seems to be centered around the piano which is okay music is music. not an easy A but an an achievable A. I say go for it you have nothing to lose. I hope I have an A lo
She's very lovely, patient, amusing, and insightful overall. She'll work with you no matter what level you're on. I hadn't touched a piano or worked with music theory since middle school and I did just fine. It's only the scales and some pretty basic pieces. Practice & you'll be fine. She doesn't mind tardiness if she knows you know the material.
This professor is amazing. She gives people an easy time and her exams are extremely easy. The book is not really necessary since she uses her notes but the music that she makes you hear is important so the CD is a must. Overall she's a great professor and there is no reason why anyone would fail her class.
Her class is based on her notes.. Recommend you to NOT miss any of her classes if you want an easy A. She is fair, easy, and nice. Only thing I did not like was how germaphobic she is...
She's awesome and super nice! Her class is really helpful and she always relates the topic of the week to real life scenarios in the professional world
The class was easy..i still hate classical music, but she makes the class somewhat fun. her test are super easy if you attend the reviews. attend the reviews they are the test.. +She is cute, and very nice.
Great Teacher! You will learn how to play. The pieces are pretty easy and short. She makes you play TONS of scales. Take the class if you want to learn how to play the piano!
This class was a breeze. She gives you questions to exam and you don't have to buy the book. She can seriously play the piano. Take her class if you want an A and an easy humanities credit.
easy class. professor also easy on eyes. take this class.
BEST TEACHER FOR PIANO! PROF. R is the best at the college. Take her
she is not easy. you need the book. you need to be in class.best teacher for piano.i have had others and she is the best in mdc, take professor rodriguez piano class
Ana Rodriguez, is the best instructor i have had so far. She made educ 1300 easy for me. You could reach her at any time on facebook or email and she was always ready to assist. I rate her as an excellent instructor.
Her goes over the quizzes that are 50 questions in a class before the quiz but the part I don't like about her class is the listening quiz, she will play piano, but you have to write the composer. She is cool, I recommend her.
She goes over exams, and quizzes. she lets you turn in work late. very understanding and nice. not too hard test. easy professor.
Unless you are a huge Classical Musical buff, the class is not that entertaining. Rodriguez tries her best though. Take down all the notes! She pretty much hand feeds you what the question/answers for each test and quiz. Just study it. She gives tons of extra credit just for knowing the material. She doesn't like people too absent. Try and Pass
One of my favorite professors so far. Very helpful, kind, patient and presents the material clearly. It was an interesting and fun class :)
I would pick someone else if given the chance. She looks down on those who don't understand right away.
Have taken this course in another campus, no comparison. Professor Rodriguez knows what she is doing!! Amazing Professor!!! Take her class if you want to learn play the piano.
Was not interested in this course, she makes it interesting. gives detailed reviewed class before exam, memorize and youre done. She shows youtube videos and movies which makes the class more interesting. Very nice person!
Professor Rodriguez is an inspirational demanding piano teacher. She helped me ace my proficiency exam. So glad that I met her and was able to work with her!
Music appreciation filled with Music Videos, questions to exam, film music and Fun Facts. A 5th grader could pass this class! Show up and get an A. Loved Her!!
This lady was there for me. Could not afford text book, she would let me use an old copy she had. The kindest professor you will meet. From never playing to being able to teach piano a small music school.
A long class.. you spend most of the time with the scales. As she saids it is scale boot camp! She is funny and makes class time fun! You wont regret taking professor rodriguez class.
The structure of the class is very helpful for beginning students. She gives small lectures, and then gives assignments to help you understand the material better. She then goes around the class and makes sure you understand the concepts taught in class. She regularly gives extra credit.
The best part of having taken all piano classes with professor Rodriguez is that she gives insight into the professional world of music and teaching piano. Someone that is good to know, if you are going into the music profession. Lectures are good, she helps you out in class. Basically if you work in class, you really don't have to practice much.
My favorite class of the semester, with no interest in the subject. I wish all professors were like her. Extra Credit for participating in class!!
Great Class and Professor. I really learned about how to appreciate music. This class is easy if you show to class, take notes, study for the listening quiz, and study for the Exam. You will pass with A+ if you you just show up to class.
Learned alot with her! Strict but good.
Prof. Rodriguez is the reason why I was able to improve drastically on my piano skills. She's a wonderful teacher and a great pianist herself. She was always pushing me to get better. She also made it clear that to be able to improve my piano skills I need to practice. Definitely recommended!
Professor Rodriguez is a phenomenal professor. The class is very easy, and Professor Rodriguez makes sure that you learning. She is very clear, and gives great examples so that the lectures stick with us. There are very few assignments. All are super easy, except for the listening quiz. And she gives extra credit for everything! Overall, amazing!
I was not a music major but ended up with student in my class with music background felt outta place she is a passionate professor and enjoy what she does but the class was sooooo damn boringgggg lmfao omg amd it felt like time would never come to leave but it's not hard and the songs she played was hard to pay attention to
SHE'S PERFECT! TAKE HER FOR PIANO CLASS 1-4. She's a pusher when it comes to these classes only because she cares and wants to see her students gradually become super stars by the end of each semester. Don't be intimidated by her. She's like a kindergarden teacher who happens to play piano like a goddess. FREE DOUGHNUT PARTY EVERY SEMESTER!!!!!!!!!
Tbh she is the BEST professor in music, she's such a sweetheart and you actually end up liking the music too. Very easy grader and no hw just two tests and that's it
Probably the most patient professor I've ever had. Takes her time with each student, and is very knowledgeable. Amazing professor, won't regret taking her
Very simple and easy professor! She assigns 3 exams, concert essay, and a couple other listening quizzes. Very clear when it comes to grading and she makes the class very interesting and extremely easy to pass. Exam answers are given a week prior to the test day.
Shes AMAZING!!!!!!
Professor Rodriguez is wonderful. She is very kind and will go to extremes to try to help you learn the piano even if you at zero. She has the capacity of placing herself on the shoes of students. Patient, Humble, Inclusive, Empathic, Sweet, Enthusiastic, Joyful, Kind are some of the adjectives that describe her. She really knows music.
Professor Rodriguez is outstanding. I read other students' comments after I took her class, and I must say that they are not exaggerating. It is not an accident that so many comments are so great, I know this after taking 2 classes with her. She can bring the best out of the students, and she can always smile and make you feel better.
She is so inspirational . I passed my audition and I owe it all to her teaching! Take her if you want to get in to Univerisities!!
Professor Rodrigue really cared about my progress. Her class is easy to follow with power points, she also does videos of scales to help you with the exams. Really nice Professor!
She is an amazing professor! Teaches through power points and gives reviews before exams. Take her shes really nice!
Take her! Her class is simple, few exams and quizzes that are easy to pass. She knows her stuff, and is helpful. One of the best at MDC.
Great Class! Was my favortie class of the semester, she always in good mood.
Took both piano classes with professor Rodriguez. She is really understanding and a great professor. Class is an easy A.
If you ever get the chance to take this course, I recommend you do it with her! Not only are you given time to practice, she wants everyone to learn and improve along the way. I would take this course again with her she is amazing 10/10 :))
This professor is really passionate about what she teaches. She gives these reviews she calls big reviews which is everything in exam. Let you make up work really nice professor. Take her if you can she is best professor that I had in MDC.
Such an easy class. Goes over everything before the tests. She gives you the chance to turn in assignment late. Really nice professor. One of the nicest at the college.
I recommend here 100%! Take her and you will learn music and pass :)
Loved her! She inspires you to learn even if you don't like the classical music. Take her class!
What I liked about her style of teaching was her feedback about my playing. I was able to learn so much from her comments after each of the exams that helped me get better at my playing. Enjoyed her class.
Great lectures, her classes weren't boring and she was also very nice and funny and loved talking to and interacting with students. Super refreshing. She would start every class playing music students chose. Her tests are easy if you pay attention, but you need to pay attention for her FRQ quizzes. Definitely recommend!
Yes, yes, yes! Being in class is very important because her exams are based off of her lectures, and it's a lot of material to remember, but she does her best to make it engaging and fun. She's also very generous with grades, but I wouldn't take advantage of her leniency. 1000% I would recommend.
Rodriguez is amazing! Such a sweet prof & takes things slow for beginner piano players. I was skeptical of taking Class Piano on MDC Live because it's kinda strange to learn piano through zoom? But she made it very easy & approachable! I'm taking her for Class Piano 2 in Summer B & she's still still just as great! Will write another review soon!
Professor Rodriguez is kind and makes her expectations very clear from the beginning of the semester. She is knowledgeable and passionate about the subject but understands that you might not be and loves to hear everyone's thoughts regardless. While lecturing she will say if something will be on the test and always sets her students up for success.
Easy class! Quizzes are open book and exams are multiple choice. There is one paper you need to write but she is the easiest grader.
I had her in person and online. She is patient and has a sense of humor. Class before exam she helps you with exam piece. One of the best professors at north campus.
One of the best professors I have ever had at MDC. She is good at explaining theory concepts and helped me a lot to understand. She is a real easy grader even if you mess up the piece.
I am so glad that I took this class with her. She is amazing. Highly recommend.
I never played the piano before this class and she was really understanding. Her videos she posts on YouTube were really helpful to learn the pieces. She is very passionate about what she does.
I had her for two piano classes and passed proficiency exam at FIU. She is very helpful.
Very simple class, with few assignments. Would really recommend Professor Rodriguez, easy going professor.
Nice professor. She uses youtube videos in her lectures making the class more interesting. she is quite passionate about the subject.
Class is easy. no homework she just tells you to go over the class material. Goes out of way to help students out. Take her!
nicest professor at mdc. she was very patient and caring. gave a lot of extra credit for just doing simple assignments.
This class was mostly about learning scales. I am not a piano player but she was very helpful. Was always positive about things and students in the class.
Straightforward class just practice and you'll do fine. The main issue is poor communication and an unreliable syllabus. Exams may focus on one scale or chord, but test something different last minute, which can leave you unprepared. Otherwise, cool teacher if you're looking to grow in piano.
She gives so much extra credit that you could be failing and still pass the course. All you have to do is attend the concerts, write something about it, and you'll be fine.
She gives a lot of advice on playing the piano and music practice in general. Learned a lot while in the class. She also gives her time outside of class to help you with your playing if you need it.
She is intense. Makes sure that everyone understands before going to the next thing. The class is pretty easy, if you have taken some piano before. Would have been good to have the class in person, but still excellent professor.
One of the best at North Campus. She actually cares. Helped me pass my proficiency exam. Take her class!
