J.J. is AWESOME! She really enjoys doing what she does with the all-U orchestras, and is really passionate about conducting and watching her students grow as musicians. The easiest A in the world if you can spare an hour and a half on Mondays and have some talent with a stringed instrument (excluding guitar)

Prof. Jensen is very engaging and fun. This class was really difficult for me, but I hadn't played in a long time. Prepare for difficult music, but since the class is graded on attendance and not ability, don't worry too much.

She's starts off the class saying she doesn't care if you practice, but then picks some difficult music. It's a great class if you want to keep playing, but not have to put too much work in.
