if you have had band...take this guy! he is soooooo easy!

I never had anything to do with the technical parts of music, but Mr. Frederick helped me appreciate the more classical aspects, it was a very interesting class and a nice change from harder classes. If i had to take another music it would probably be from him. Plus it's pretty easy.

Loooooove Him!!!

Mr. Fredricks is an AWSOME teacher. Everybody should have have him. Love ya Mr. Fredricks. ^_^

Mr Frederick is one of the best teachers at Troy as far as knowing how to explain the information in a simple manner and make it interesting. I hated the fact that this was a required class, but was pleasantly surprised when I finally took it.

awesome teacher

I love him!!And I am glad I am not the only one who thinks he looks like Willy Wonka!Very easy class if you have a background in music. He is an excellent drummer!I defnitely loved the class!!

One cool guy.Just pay close attention to the bold-faced vocab words in your book and the test will be no sweat.He eats,sleeps,and breathes music,so he is extremely smart in this area and knows what he's talking about.I would recommend him to anyone.

I HATE MUSIC, IF YOUR NOT A MUSIC PERSON, DONT TAKE THIS CLASS FOR A PUSH OVER. YOU'LL MAKE C'S AND D'S ON THE TWO TEST AND THE FINAL YOU'LL MAKE A B-. BUT IF YOUR A MUSIC PERSON YOUR GOOD. THE TEACHER IS REAL COOL TOO, JUST CRAZY WHEN IT'S TIME FOR TEST, CAUSE THEY ARE THE SAME EVERY YEAR.

Dr. F is great! If you don't have a lot of absences, he bumps you up a letter grade. The exams are easy, and the class is pretty fun.

Highly Recommended! He takes attendance every single day. If you miss less than 2 classes, he's more than willing to bump your final average up a whole letter grade. His class isn't really boring, I actually enjoyed listening to him. He knows what he's talking about. You'll actually have to study for the exams, but not that hard. It's an easy B.

The class is mandatory, and there are only two instructors, one of which is difficult to get. Frederick's class isn't all that hard if you're a person that comes from a background in music, otherwise, good luck!

You can pass this class without textbook. If you wanna get A, study notes from class. If you are international students, don't take this class because you may not understand his southern accent.

Not a hard class. Mr. Fredricks is a nice guy who lis really passionate about music. Show up for class and study a little. Fairly easy A.

He's very knowledgeable, obviously, and will make sure you become just as knowledgeable.

Good professor, good teacher, he goes more in depth than a student with no musical background will understand. Possibly too in depth, but he helps you out and doesn't test over the advanced stuff. If you go to class all the time and participate, he will help you out with your final grade

Good professor, good teacher, and you can tell he is very passionate about music. Very in depth, but he helps you out and doesn't test over the advanced stuff. If you go to class all the time and participate, you will do fine. Study a little and participate in class and you will earn an A.

Great old guy. He is very passionate about music, but makes class interesting for those that aren't. More material in the lectures than covered in the exams. If you come to class, sit in the front, and show real effort you will probably come out with a good grade.

He is a pretty easy teacher. The book you will only need to read before tests. If you attend class every day he will boost your grade a letter grade by the end of the class. If you have a background in music it is a piece of cake.

I enjoyed Fredrick as an instructor but was somewhat bored with the class. Show up regularly and on time, participate in class (he pays attention!) and be mentally present, not just physically present. Only three tests, and not many opportunities to build up your grade. However, if you're mentally present he'll notice and it will help. OK class.

He is one of my favorite teachers. I got a 98 in his class. He is really easy if you come to class, sit in the front, and take part in class. He pays close attention to the people who take part. I never once opened my book, either, but I was also in band for 6 years.

I don't like him as a person, but his class is easy enough. He acts very snobby and acts like he is above everyone because he knows "everything" about music and plays percussion. However, if you want an easy A, take his class. He isn't a stickler for attendance, but you do get points for coming to class. If you don't pass, you just didn't try.

Mr. Fredrick is my father. I love my dad, and there are things about him that get on my nerves, but all of you saying he knows nothing about music are dead wrong. what college student gets offered a professor DIRECTLY OUT OF COLLEGE by the man whos name is plastered on top of the music hall??and I took one of his tests when I was 8, and passed..

Three tests, minimal studying. He will help you with your grades if you speak up in class or attend every class. I just didn't like him as a professor. Got tired of looking at his stupid suit and sweater combinations.

He gives you notes on the first day of class, and with that you will hardly ever need the book. The class is very boring but the tests are super easy to pass. Give the man a chance, he knows what he is talking about. You can tell he is passionate about music too.

Fredrick is a good teacher. His class is very easy and he is passionate about music. It is obvious he knows what he is talking about. Don't buy the book, you won't use it. Would definitely recommend him for Music App!

As long as you come to class and pay attention, you will get a really good grade in this class.

Awesome person. Always there for the students.

I have no musical background and did fine. Just come to class and participate every now and then to get what he calls "me points." For someone like me who didn't know music, take notes and study a little and the tests are fine. I learned how to read music (at least well enough that it helps me in Church Choir) so I appreciated the class.

Mr. Fredrick's class was one of the easiest I've ever taken. I really liked him, just show some respect and show up to class, and you'll have no problem getting an A. He'll bump your final grade up a letter point if you are close.

Fredrick's class is extremely easy if you have a musical background. I never used my book. If you have no musical background, prepare to study. Tests aren't that bad though.

Dr. Fredrick was a pretty fun guy. The class was super easy to me. He gives out 4 tests then the final and has a pretty clear grading system. He'll also bump your grade up to the next letter provided that it's within reason (86 goes up to an A, an 84 would stay a B). His tests are the exact same ones he's been administering for years.

Talk about the easiest teacher on campus! I have no musical background whatsoever. Yet, passing Fredrick's class is quite simple. You will pass If you pay attention, show up to class, and actually talk to the guy. P.S. He has a thing called my points. If you do what I said above, he will round your grade a whole letter grade.

One of the most inspirational and respected professors at the university. This class is not for the lighthearted when it comes to music. He is a tough grader with tough tests. The class itself is terrible and I would never take it again but an awesome professor. Gives extra credit at the end if you were a decent student to him and class.

Mr. Fredrick is what I expected a college professor to be like. Participate and go to class in order to receive "my points" from him. The technical mini tests are difficult, but study the day before and you'll be fine. Study your notes for the major tests and you're good to go. Go to class, pay attention and study and you'll be fine.

I absolutely loved his class for Music Appreciation, even with all 112 students, he knew me by name. He would go over the test the class before and his test were super common sense if you pay attention.

I think Fredrick is a really underrated professor. He is really nice and as long as you come to class and talk to him a couple of times he will help you out in the end. He tells you what's on the test so as long as you study a bit you will be good.

While the class is kind of difficult he does give bonus points to those who always show up and participate. Also if you are a favorite student and have a question he is more than happy to answer your question. Also if he talks about drummers mention Buddy Rich.

Easy A as long as you show up to class. Lectures can be long and boring but pay attention because everything on the tests he covers in the lectures.

The class is straight forward. He provides you with a packet that covers all the material you will be learning. There are six tests in the class. They are pretty easy as long as you pay attention. You do not have to show up to class but if you need your final grade bumped up at the end he will do it if you've been showing up.

Great teacher. Easy A. don't be lazy. When he goes over something on the packet, study that night/week. you'll for real make a 100 on his test. Low key reminds me of Michael Scott from The Office.

His lecture's are pretty boring but you don't HAVE to come to class. If you have a good attendance, he'll scale your grade. His tests aren't super difficult. I knew nothing about music and am doing okay in there. The only thing I don't like is that he doesn't use canvas so you never really know what your grade is.

He isn't really difficult, but it does require effort. He takes attendance for himself and uses it to see which students actually attend class and put in the effort. His lectures can get boring but it's an easy A if you put in the work.

his attendance is only for him and hell bump your final grade up if you have little to no absences. no homework or classwork. lectures take the whole class usually. tests are easy if you study a bit. the schedule on canvas covers everything the tests will cover, but write it down if he says to bc itll definitely be on the test.

Fun guy lots of experience and cool stories. Hard material if you aren't familiar with instrument's. Tests are online so that does help.

You can google all the test questions with the music clips all being from 1 youtube channel. Doesn't give assignments with 100% of the grade being from online tests. This was the easiest A of my life.

Great professor would highly recommend. Attendance is mandatory and all tests are online.

He is a really nice man who has some cool stories. If you show up and stay off your phone you'll do perfectly fine. His tests are on Canvas and he gives extensive reviews before any assignments. It is an easy A as long as you pay attention.

He is the easiest professor I've ever taken. All of his tests have been the same for years so it's not hard to find the answers. All tests are online and not proctored. You will be fine as long as you do well on tests. Every unexcused absence is a point off, but he did say this semester he may change the absence policy.

Class is planned out, easy to see what you're doing each day. There are several mini and large tests with no class on test days! He does take attendance everyday, with one point being taken off of total class points for each unexcused absence. He's a sweet man, participating/forming a relationship will benefit you. All tests are online, even final

I loved this class. I was in band for 7 years so I already knew the content but the tests are overall super easy. Everything covered in lecture is online as well as the tests. Make sure to sit near the front and be respectful- you'll get on his good side. He takes -1 overall grade pt per absence so make sure to go to class.

6 test - 3 mini test, 2 major test, and the final - all online and you do not have to go to class on those days. Attendance is mandatory as he takes 1 point off your total points if you miss. Sit near the front and be respectful. On the first day you receive a schedule and it is laid out day by day so super easy to follow along.

Good professor. Talks a lot but is cool. No class on test days. He tends to get off topic a bit and can be a little boring but overall easy class and pretty straightforward. (btw don't park in his parking spot)

Mr. Fredrick's class is extremely easy as long as just go to class and listen to the lectures. The class consists of fully online tests, including the final exam. On test days there is no class. Every class is just a lecture with no homework at all during the semester.

He is a great professor. Graded on a few tests which are all online. His lectures were pretty enjoyable, even when the class itself isnt too interesting. He's clearly knowledgeable and is pretty funny. Show up to class, because every absence takes off a point from your grade, but like I said, his class is easy, just sit down and chill for 50 mins.

The class was pretty boring, but it was an easy pass. Make sure you show up because every class you miss is a point off your final grade

All his test are online and he doesn't change them every so do with that what you will! Never gave graded homework or pop quizzes. I skip this class all the time but he does check attendance and he allegedly takes off point of your finial test grade for skipping. So if you get at least a 95 or 100 on every test you do fine.
