Review:

John G

It has been my great pleasure and privilege to work with John G for the past year and a half as his Graduate Level percussion instructor. During this time, I have come to know him as an extremely talented, diligent student with a strong work ethic and a very positive attitude. John shows great tenacity in his pursuit of skills and knowledge. He also works very hard to constantly upgrade his skills through critical self- assessment and the input of others. I have also observed that his communication skills are well above the norm. He has been extremely helpful to me in mentoring the undergrads in my World Percussion Ensemble. He's a friendly, take charge guy and works extremely well with these students. Doug Auwarter wrote on Mon, 26 Sep 2016
