He is great! very passionate and informative about music. He knows everything and is very helpful. He is just a wonderful teacher. If you want to learn how to sing and have fun doing it take from him!
Great teacher, knows what he's talking abut. U want to learn how to sing he'll teach u. Your singing will improve. Funny tacher 2.
Love this teacher. His class is fun, enjoy attending this class. This class will help you relieve your stress.
Where should I begin? He is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! He is the greatest professor I have ever had. I loved his class, he is a wonderful teacher (your singing will improve!) and he will go to the end of the earth for his students. He is really an inspiration to have. Highly recommend him! He is smart and kind.
He's great teacher and always looks happy! The attendance in his class is mandatory, he hates when somebody is late. His tests are not hard and he'll go out of his way to help get a good grade.
MY FAVORITE TEACHER BY FAR IN VALLEY!!! I TOOK HIM DURING WINTER AND DID NOT REGRET IT! IT WAS THE BEST CLASS TO GO TO EVERY MORNING! BRINGS BAKED GOODS ONCE A WEEK! VERY PASSIONATE AS A TEACHER AND AS A MUSICIAN! NO EXGERATION; EEEEASIEST A! HE TELLS YOU WHAT TO REMEMBER FOR THE TEST!!! AND FINAL!
Mr. Carlos is ok as an instructor. But he seemed to want to succeed too much and was always looking for our validation. I came to college to learn and be challenged; neither happened in his class. I got my easy 'A', but would have prefered a better educational experience.
He is a fun teacher. Very helpful. Good personality. I would recommend him.
Mr. Carlos is an extremely talented musician and teacher. He is definitely one of the best professors working at LAVC. In his class you will learn not only to improve your vocal technique, but also to warm up properly, create a character, and deliver an effective,professional performance. Mr. Carlos is incredible. Take his class!
He is the BEST! Nicest guy in the world and has a heart of gold!! He makes you interested in music. Loved loved loved his class!
Nicest teacher that I have ever had. Sweet, passionate, energetic, friendly, funny, outgoing, helpful, and just a great teacher.
If you come to LAVC and do not have him as a teacher you are truly missing out. He makes you love music and he is so passionate about this that it totally rubs off on you. He is super awesome. You will learn a lot.
He is the best instructor at Valley college. Love love love him, he is such kind, nice and helpful person. i highely reccomend him. He awasome!!!!
LOVE HIM! He is such a great guy and reallly helpful.
The best! Cares about all his students. You sing three songs in one semester - those are the projects... he helps you sing them - you have accompanists helping you and giving you private coaching - you are stupid if you cannot succeed in this class!
He is wonderful, extremely kind, and brilliant. I took this class just for the units, and honestly I'm glad I did. It was so much fun, and I had a great time. I recommend him for sure. Try to memorize the songs before hand so that way its easier on you. He will ask you to go see 18 performances, be prepared $$$
Love his class. He's super nice and very supportive.
awesome teacher. u will learn alot from him. he is nice and funny. definitley the best at lavc
An amazing teacher. SUPER friendly. I love him to death, but he talks too fast and slurs his words, so it's hard to understand him sometimes.
Oh How I love Mr. Carlos! He is an inspiration. <3
He loves music and he enjoys his class. he never yells, very patient. He is very friendly and helpful. We had like 5 concerts and the final was to sing the star spangled banner in a quartet. He is awesome! He hands out the music sheets you'll need.
He's amazing! I took Music411(voice 1) and learned so much! Mr. Carlos is the best at teaching proper vocal technique using vocabulary & visualization. I had never sang in front of an audience.. At first I felt extremely vulnerable but Mr. Carlos is empathetic and has a way of putting students at ease. Great class for all skill levels and fun too!!
AMAZING! He makes it so easy to learn and comprehend what he's teaching. Makes a comfortable environment to help with stage fright. Just a great teacher.
I had professor carlos my first semester at valley college. His way of teaching was beyond amazing for a first time college student like myself. He helped me overcome my fear of singing to an audience and gave me very appropriate feedback when I practiced with him and performed for the class. FYI There is only 1 test and it's just vocabulary terms.
Professor Carlos was an amazing teacher! His class was so much fun and he's so kind and understanding. If you have fear of singing he is the perfect person to try this class out with. DEFINITELY TAKE THIS CLASS SO MUCH FUN.
My singing (if you could have called it that) improved quite a bit. I was actually surprised.
The coolest professor ever!!! So nice and down to earth. Very caring for his students. Great at what he does. Wonderful teacher overall. Definitely take him!
Carlos is a sweetheart. Take his class and you will not regret it, he makes it fun. If you think you cannot sing then Carlos will help you any way that he can. He will even offer to meet with you one-on-one for assistance if needed and help with learning music notes. He's very helpful, do not be afraid to talk to him. He's a great listener.
Carlos will help out with anything that you may be having trouble with. He will be clear on what you will need to improve on and help you with it. If you are having trouble with reading notes then Carlos is there for you. He cares about his students and will help them any way from failing. Get as much help as you can from him, he enjoys helping out
Carlos is a caring professor that really wants you to find what you desire. He takes the time from his day to catch you up or tutors you when you need help on a certain song. Prof. Carlos is the best professor I have had at LAVC.
Professor Carlos is the greatest professor ever! His class was so incredibly straight forward. He does not throw any curve balls at you, he pretty much gives you the answers to every single quiz, never a test in his class. He cares about each of his students, he is funny, he is HOT. Just a great guy literally all around. Please take him!
Absolutely take this course! Glenn Carlos was amazing and although there were a lot of assignments they are very helpful in terms of prepping you for the final and midterm plus they're super easy! He literally tells you what to expect for the quizzes and tests plus if you're having any trouble at all he will take the time to help you. He's the best
I took the honors section. Carlos is absolutely amazing and makes things simple to understand. He explains all the quizzes and tests beforehand and will take time to help you understand any concept that you struggle with. He's SO bright and cheery and enthusiastic that it's hard not to enjoy class.
The G.O.A.T
He is absolutely awesome! Since it was the first time I've ever read music it was a bit difficult for me especially since I took it during the summer, but he was very helpful when he would help me one on one. He makes sure everyone is on the same page. His great personality just makes everything even better. Always so happy and very energetic.
Professor Carlos is such a great guy. He is such a kind and caring soul that strives to make sure that you understand the material. He is super funny and energetic which was a life saver for me because I'm not a morning person and his class was at 8 am. Even if you don't think that you are interested in music, you should defiantly take his class!
I attend UC Davis, so its ironic to know my best professor so far is from a community college. Underrated! Very helpful professor. I took him over summer, so the course was faster than usual, yet he still made it comfortable for the students to understand the material.
its a yes from me
He is super sweet and has a lot of positive energy! He's willing to break down the material in and out of class. Material is pretty easy to understand whether you have taken music in the past or not, it just might take a bit of time to do some of the hw. Take Carlos! He's a gem at valley.
To say he cares about his students is an understatement. I can't say enough how much I appreciated his enthusiasm. If you don't get at least a B it's because you're not trying. He will go out of his way to make sure you do well. Wonderful person, enthusiastic and caring educator. I wish more teachers had half of his personality.
Professor Carlos is the best. Such a great soul, he cares about his students. He does one on one if you're ever feel discouraged. Its intimidating at first to learn music but after you get the concept its fairly easy. I would recommend anyone taking his class. He has his on textbook you purchase - super affordable
Professor Carlos also leads the choirs at LAVC. If you like singing, dipping your feet in with his Voice1 class will probably get you recruited for choir. He is one of the greatest people I have ever met. He loves his students and shows it. Voice1 required memorizing and singing 4 songs in front of class, as well as 2 small exams on basic concepts.
I am taking music class and I must say I love Mr. Carlos. he so great and knowledgeable professor with tons of experience. Will answer all the interested questions in full. He does everything he can to make the student succeed, his lectures fun, he just amazing professor, wowowo, one of the kinds. I'm so happy I took his class and highly recommend
Throughout my entire education I only had one teacher/professor that stood out, until I had the honor of sitting under the teachings of Professor Carlos! He cares and makes sure every student understands. He will teach the same thing in however many ways it takes for you to get it! Hes funny, honest, caring, passionate, knowledgeable and AWESOME!
Professor Carlos is such an inspiration. Everyone who knows him knows how much of a sweetheart he is. The class was amazing! He has a way of creating a safe space to help you thrive and go so much further with your talents. I love his quirky style; One day he'll come in a hipster professional with a tie, the next day he will be in sparkles :)
Carlos is so amazing!!! He really does create a loving and safe environment to learn in. Which really helps when you're new to singing in front of people! I can't say enough good things! Don't hesitate! Just add his class, you won't regret it!!
Professor Carlos is an amazing professor, that he makes the material easy to understand . Super amazing teacher and is willing to go out of his way to teach it to you in 40 ways if needed! He's very inspirational and I 100% recommend taking his class.
He is an amazing Professor. I liked him. He is hilarious, inspirational, gave us extra credits, caring, he brought coffee for us and two times cookies. He makes his classes so easy. He dances, sings, laughs, tells stories and he said a lot of times that he loves his class.
One of my favorite professors at this college (Spring 2019). He is so talented, inspirational, gives amazing lectures, extra credit. My first time taking music ever, and he made it so easy for me. He sings, plays piano, and likes everyone to participate. We brought food and had a fun time in this class. Overall great class, I highly recommend him.
Professor Carlos was one of the most amazing and inspiring humans I have ever had the pleasure to meet. He is honest, but kind and patient. His Music 101 course is very straightforward and he does a great job of easing you into the work. Professor Carlos is a great friend and mentor. I would highly recommend taking a course with him.
Most incredible professor I have ever taken before! His energy, passion, and care for his students will leave a huge positive impact on your life. He does office hours after each class just to make sure everyone understands the material well. He goes above and beyond to make you feel valued and I learned so much from him. TAKE HIS CLASS!!!!
Looking for a good teacher to start learning the basics on how to sing, Carlos is the optimal choice: you will learn everything you need to know to be able to survive the next singing class: body posture, phonetics, healthy warm ups, basic sight singing & terminology. He is available to his students. He cares about you. Highly recommend him.
Prof. Carlos made my semester one of the best in my life. Ironically, this was my final credit needed to get my college diploma and he may have been the best teacher I've had thus far in my academic career. I've never been taught by someone with so much experience teaching yet still maintain the excitement, joy, and investment their students.
I wanted to like Prof. Carlos. But he just seemed so insincere. Easy class, but his tone was condescending. I want a professor, NOT a best friend. Kinda weird. When he brings food, it feels like a bribe. I wouldn't take him again.
Is this guy for real? He wants to be everyone's friend. But I want a prof. Not a fan. Thought he would be better.
So, I took this class with Carlos because of all the positive reviews and I wanted to learn how to sing better. Well, by the end of the semester, I developed a very sore throat; I got nodules. I went to a throat specialist who told me it was because of how this prof was having me sing. So, no more with this guy.
Meh. Prof Carlos is an OK teacher; nothing special. He wants you to do well, but doesn't really know how to get you there. I would take Dr. Nova instead for this class.
Professor Carlos is nothing but helpful. He takes the time to explain, will schedule time to basically tutor you outside of class just to help you grasp things that you're having trouble with. He wants students to learn and is willing to do what it takes to help students. He goes above and beyond in his lessons. Will definitely take him again.
I returned to singing years after someone had told me I was terrible at it. I record and post publicly online and my recordings have been getting more likes and better reviews. I've even been able to reach notes that I couldn't reach before without much difficulty. He's encouraging and knowledgeable, one of the best teachers I've ever had.
I thought Chamber Singers online was going to be difficult, but even though we don't get to do the usual performances, Professor Carlos has found a way to engage everyone and make the experience fun. I'm learning a lot from him
I would highly recommend taking Professor Carlos' class, as long as you do your work and participate you will do well in the class. He's extremely patient with every student and always makes sure that everyone understands before moving on. He makes both the class and the homework enjoyable! He is incredibly kind and funny, would take again!
I saw huge improvements with my singing while taking this class, Professor Carlos teaches very healthy and helpful techniques. To get a good grade in the class you just have to show up and try your best. He creates a wonderful learning environment where you feel safe and not at all judged. He gives helpful critiques, while still being very kind!
He's a very encouraging guy and very friendly. He has such a great energy with everyone, he really wants to be sure that you're comfortable. He does so much for his students .I wasnt really sure of my path in music but he really made me enjoy singing that now I'm certain with where I want to go in my music career. Really recommend him for beginners
He is one of the most caring, always there for you type of people. He will take hours out of his day to help ya get ur stuff. He will even help you with other classes and life guidance. Need help getting to a 4 year, talk to him!!! Goes above and beyond for everyone!!!!!
Professor Carlos is a teacher who Cares about what he's teaching! He's extremely supportive and really wants to help us learn how to use our voices. I received so much encouragement and positive constructive feedback! You do have to participate in this class to grow. But he makes it fun & safe. I really enjoyed the music we got to sing in class!
Prof. Glen Carlos uses a great deal of creative ways to explain the material and helps us memorize music theory in hilarious (AND EFFECTIVE) ways! I had no idea about him until I took the class and feel so fortunate to have found this music professor! I am taking two other classes with him because he is just excellent and has so much to share!
Meh! I liked him at first. But after about 3 weeks, he sounded syrupy - sickly sweet. He knows the material, but I didnt like how he treated us. Cmon dude, were not children. Were adults.
I loved every second of this class. The professor is the best!!
I've never had a kinder, more caring professor in my life. He is patient, friendly, has a great sense of humor, and is helpful. He actually cares about the students and is always available outside of class to help and explain anything, and he encourages students to succeed. If you don't get an A in this class it's because you didn't try. TAKE HIM
Yo! REAL TALK, The BEST Professor I have ever had! Look no further, this is the class you want to take. Little did I know how much this class would positively impact my life every day, I attended. His charismatic teaching ability draws you in. It was hands down an AMAZING experience of learning music as a beginner. Take him! You wont regret it!
Professor Carlos is a very bright, optimistic, and passionate person. Professor Carlos comes to class everyday with a smile and cheers you up with a positive attitude. Professor Carlos is professor who really does care about the students and wants every one of them to be successful. Professor Carlos teaches music in a way that is engaging and fun!
Yes, easy class. But Prof. Carlos seemed for like a cheerleader and baby-sitter than a professor.
His class is a lot of fun. Great energy and comes ready to teach with a great burst of energy. Very nice professor and lovable.,
Really fun professor. One of the best professors I've had. Cares for students, and wants them to succeed. Easy class, makes sure everyone understands the topic. Really funny and fun. Can not get bored in their class.
One of the best Professor on campus! Highly recommend!
I absolutely loved Professor Carlos. One of the best teachers I've ever had in every aspect. Funny, kind and caring are three great words to describe this professor and you need to take at least one class with him if you attend LAVC.
Professor Carlos is the best teacher I have had! He is so enthusiastic and his energy radiates through the class, yes even in an online class. He has clever ways for you to associate what he is teaching so you don't forget the material when class is over. He is an inspiration!
Professor Carlos is truly one of the best teachers I've ever had. He truly cares about everyone in his class and he will help you succeed. You'd have to try really hard to fail his class,l because he does so much to help everyone win. I don't think I've ever had a more inspiring or caring teacher. one of the nicest people I've ever met.
I had experience playing music but never learned the fundamentals of music writing or reading and professor Glenn Carlos taught me that very well. He knows how to explain things in detail, he's funny, kind, and patient. I wish this class would've been in person and all my classmates were very kind and helpful. Attendance and participation are key.
He's a great professor! Very understanding, nice, and caring. I was never stressed once in this class. Go take him!
Absolute 1 of the BEST teachers Ive ever had! Super supportive & wants to see you succeed & will do everything possible to HELP you get that A. Very encouraging, understanding & easy to talk to. Textbook is $10 because he made it himself to keep cost low. Do yourself a favor & take his class!
This is my first semester back to college after years and I could not have picked a better professor. Someone mentioned before me he's too kind and that's totally right if you're the type of person who loves to eat rotten food. The coursework is clear, his lectures are engaging, he's funny & authentically kind, do yourself a favor, take the class!
Awesome professor, extremely nice and pleasant. Cares a lot about his students, has very clear grading criteria. Attendance matters. Easy course overall, the hardest part was waiting for him to explain things to students that were a little slower, he takes the time to make sure every single person understands the material. He WANTS to give A's.
Professor Carlos is the most amazing music instructor I ever took. All of his assignments are extremely easy because he is always helpful. Please take this class and be successful.
Professor Glenn is the best music teacher I've had so far, it's easy to understand what he teaches u and it's not difficult as long as u pay attention to what he's teaching especially because online is fast paced. You won't regret taking his class
Professor Glen has a fantastic way of teaching, so patient and caring toward his students that make you pass this class without being difficult. I'm happy I took his class because people like him make a big difference. He understands life situations and is willing to work with you to help you do better. Future classes you won't regret taking him.
Not really fond of him. The way he makes you sing is damaging to the voice. Everyone leaves class with sore throats. And the music he chooses is almost all recycled from previous years. Select better music!
He loves his students very much and is passionate in what he does. He takes the time to help you if you ask. He is very hard working and requires you to do the same, so it gets very demanding. You could end up damaging your voice by the end of some of his classes.
Professor Carlos is very knowledgeable and his class is very entertaining. He crack little jokes and delivers the information in a clear and concise format. It is very easy to get an A...if you do your work.
Professor Carlos is an amazing teacher. His lectures are engaging and his passion for music is contagious. This class is for both people who have never played an instrument and musicians alike. He provides study guides and cares that you pass his exams. Participation matters but the questions he asks are not difficult as long as you're listening.
Amazing professor, weekly quizzes but not very hard if you pay attention to lectures definitely would take again
I LOVE this professor so much! He is funny, SUPER nice, and clear in his teachings. If you are struggling, he will take the time to explain it to you more so you don't fall behind. He never makes students feel bad for asking questions! Be ready to participate in his class! He likes to call on every individual student at least once per class. 10/10
Prof Carlos is one of the best professors I've ever had the pleasure of learning from. It is obvious how much he loves his work. His infectious enthusiasm and talent is inspiring. My vocal technique, sight reading and performance chops continue to improve. He set the bar high which allowed me to explore my creativity and move beyond the page.
He was very good at teaching ways that would make us understand the material well and also was always very friendly and made the class a fun environment to be in.
Professor Carlos was such an amazing music teacher! Was so caring, made sure you understood before moving forward and really encouraged us all to do our best. Homework was easy and not too much. Overall a 10/10 would recommend.
I found this class to be very enjoyable. Professor was always in a good mood. Homework and tests were things reviewed in class.
One of the most amazing people I know . He is a Blessing. He is also a great teacher of Music. You learn so much.
Professor Carlos is such an incredible light to have in this department! He is the kindest, most caring and supportive soul. He truly wants students to succeed and that shows in his work ethic, empathy, and genuine compassion towards everyone. His enthusiasm is contagious, he is an expert in what he does and you will learn so much from him.
Talk about an inspiration! Started the semester somewhat insecure about my singing and I bloomed into a singing 'machine'. Chamber was something out of my comfort zone but was a hidden blessing. I learned a lot of useful techniques and how to sightread. He gave amazing advice and was good about giving sectional time. Extremely punctual too.
Great man, this class is an easy A. Easy class, he cares about everyone, and honestly, I know no man that would get a B on this class. Easy A class, go for it. No prior knowledge needed. Pls hear me out.
I've never had a more caring teacher/professor. I originally saw the class as just an art requirement, but it ended up being the best class I've taken at LAVC! His teaching style should be the standard. He took a subject so foreign to me and made it completely understandable, and FUN. I could not suggest a professor more. He is wonderful.
Professor Carlos is one of the best professors I've ever had. He makes lectures super fun and engaging. Not only is he good at teaching, but he also cares for his students dearly. I am disabled and he constantly checked on me to make sure that I was okay. He never made a student feel bad for not understanding a concept. Take music 101 with him!
He is a excellent teacher able to hear a great singer from a good singer. I take choir, chamber singers, and musicianship with him and he is an inspiration. Sometimes I surprise him as I have perfect pitch and relative pitch. He likes my conducting skills and enthusiastic energy in class every week. He hepps us with rhythms and singing technique.
The class was extremely fast but Professor Carlos made everything simple and easy to grasp. He explains thoroughly and wont move on until everybody understood the topic. He's really funny and nice, but don't let that fool you, he can be serious if he wants to be. He knows what he's doing and is an all-around great teacher and upstanding guy! 20/10!
Professor Carlos is an absolutely great professor! As long as you attend class and do your work then you can definitely pass with an A. He's very helpful and will explain & review until everyone understands.
Professor Carlos makes this class fun and engaging. The material is manageable, and he's always willing to help if you're struggling. Using resources like unstuck study alongside the textbook really helped me prepare for the exams.
Professor Carlos is an absolute gem. He is so passionate about his students and music, and will help you with absolutely anything you need. I would highly suggest taking any class with Professor Carlos to experience the magic
Professor Carlos does an amazing job making this class super fun and interesting. He also is a great listener and will go the extra mile to make sure you succeed. Incredible professor!
GO SIGN UP FOR PROF. CARLOS! Don't waste anymore time reading here, this is the professor for you. I've been in this business a long time and Prof. is without a doubt the best educator I've seen in my life. Very caring, accessible, plenty of experience w students of all levels, you will be accommodated no matter where you're at in your journey.
He opens the eyes to anyone in music, you can understand even if it is your first time in music class!
