THE best music teacher at BSC. Even though she wants you to practice a lot, she knows her stuff and is willing to talk to you if you need help. Highly recommend!

She's a wicked nice lady! Very willing to help you out. Loves what she does. I reccomend her for a piano teacher.

very well organized and structured...didn't receive the grade i was hoping for, but learned much from her.

Laugh! Your face will not crack! I promise. Calls a paper "careless" if there is even one typo.

She was with no doubt very hard, and humorless, but i can say w/ confidence that i know all there is to know about the piano! The class is hard to sit through but its worth taking if you are serious about learning how to play!

SHe is very well organized and loves music. But she will expect you to read her mind or the right answers. Hopfully your clarivoyant!! You'll learn a lot but she is the Hitler of the department and will grade you that way!!Hail Kreiling!!

challenging, but very interesting. one of the few courses where studying is NECESSARY because those tests are brutal!

Very difficult, but she knows her stuff and although this is one of the more difficlut classes I have taken, I have learned the most from her class. I think if you are a good student, you'll do fine.

I wish all of my professors were as organized and prepared as she is for each class. There's no way to hide what you didn't study for with her tests and papers- she is not an easy grader! Enjoyed her classes.

Teaches piano class well, if you don't want to spend time practicing you should not take this class, that said, you should not take piano with anyone if you have no desire to practice.

at first i really didn't like her. and for the most part, i still don't. she's mean. but as for teaching, she is wonderful. i take detailed notes and ace her tests. he quizzes and papers are another story. as for the papers, she has a phd in english as well as music. tough stuff!!!

I don't agree at all. Jean is one of the most brilliant professor i have ever had the privilege of meeting. I think you are just jealous because she is smart, talented and attractive!

Two words... Awe-inspiring.

not an easy class. tough grader. not too much out of class work, strict.

nice lady. Do not recomend class unless you want to be music major. All you do is listen to classical and opera music.. it gets boring...

she is a very nice lady, she will help you when you ask. her homeworks are hard but very infrequent. tests are also difficult and you MUST STUDY FOR HOURS. but overall i learned a lot in this class and would take it again.

She's very reasonable and very nice. If you'd like to learn something about music, then I recommend taking her classes. They are both challenging and rewarding.

dr kreiling is a very nice lady. she expects a lot from her students. her tests are straight foreward and there are no surprises with them. study and ou will do fine. her homework is hard but you only get 3 assignments a year that you need to pass in.

Dr. Kreiling gives clear, organized lectures, and is fantastic about class discussion. Very open to questions and comments! Take the writing assignments seriously... she will notice every grammar mistake, and she sees right through any b.s. in a paper. You can tell she loves the subject... very much enjoying her class.

She is a very nice lady. As long as you e-mail her and let her know that you are going to be out of class she will excuse you. Her tests are not difficult and her lectures are interesting. The only bad thing about her is that she grades papers way too hard especially since she is a music teacher.

I love Dr. Kreiling. She is an awesome professor. Her tests are hard and so are her papers, but I learned more in one semester with her than in all of my other classes combined. Shes the****!

I think she's awesome. Dr Kreiling is easily my fave prof this semester. She expects a lot but gives a lot, has a real passion for music and a gift for crystal clear explanation of even the obscure and tedious. I've come out of her class really, really knowing my stuff. If you want an easy ride avoid her but if you really want to LEARN and are willing to put in the effort she IS the absolute aces!

Dr. Kreiling Rocks

As a music major I thought the class was very easy. I saw non-musical students struggling but Dr. Kreiling makes every attempt to help you learn. You will participate every day in class and just let her know if you don't understand something; she will take the time to make sure you understand. You use the book every day in class and for homework.

Dr. Kreiling has been my fav. music professor for 4 years. She is extremely helpful and wants her students to do well. She is an exquisite teacher. Her classes are mostly lecture thus you must do your own studying and preparation. This is college people, its supposed to be challenging. She is a very kind lady.

MUSC of SEA seminar: If you are not a music major or have no interest in it, don't take the class. I liked music in H.S. but this class kills me. 4pg,5 pg,6pg paper comparing boring songs that is tedious and time consuming. not fun at all. You want to fall asleep during almost every class. Her quizzes are okay if you study a lot.

Aunt Jean is fun kind and college is suppossed to be hard. So there

Dr. Kreiling is awesome!!!!!

Great professor, explains the concepts so well that anyone who's not asleep should be able to understand them. I found the class (Music Fundamentals) easy, but it does introduce and reinforce many important aspects of musical notation and other concepts in music. If you've played piano before, you may be better off jumping right into a piano class.

I had Dr Kreiling for several classes, and as a resource post graduation. She is exactly what college is about. You have to WORK HARD for your grade whether music is your thing or not. If you study hard and work hard, you will EARN a grade. If you fail the class it is NOT because she did it to you. It's because you didn't put in the work!!!

Great teacher! If you pay attention and do the homework you'll be fine. The class is a little stressful just because she calls on you all the time, but it really reinforces the information. Learned a lot in this class! Definitely hard, but worth it!

Nice professor, she really does make you work for the grade though. Tough when it comes to essays and grammar, to she has a degree in both music and English. Knows her stuff and makes her classes interesting. Overall, just be prepared to work really hard to earn a good grade in the class.

She is absolutely one of the greatest teachers in the music program. She comes to class well-prepared every time. She can be critical and it is only to help us become better writers and musicians. She is not a tough grader but a fair grader. Hard work will result in a good grade in her class. Music takes practice and dedication!
