Professor Shillingford is the best prof ever! He would bring us healthy snacks during class (pita chips, hummus, halos, etc). His feedback is very extensive however you will not fail this class if you try. He recognizes no one is perfect and although the feedback may seem like he's just picking on you, I promise he is so supportive. Also, this class requires a ukulele and lots of singing. Learning the basics of the uke may sound scary however it is not with Prof Shillignford. Literally any education major looking for a fine arts, THIS IS THE ONE TO TAKE!!

Class is chill and easy, as long as u put work into it. you have to buy a ukelele and eventually play a few verses of a song, its not terrible, he gave me a B when I stopped playing a bunch of times in between. only con is the class was 2 hr 30 mins once a week.

I had Darren and Bri'Ann for MUED155 and they were both so good!! The class is really fun, you learn the ukulele and get to create music lessons (teaching episodes) for the class. There is no exam or testing, just teaching episodes (4), ukulele checkpoints (4), and a final project where we created children's books. There is some out-of-class reading involved and you have to practice your ukulele but otherwise, the course load is very manageable! I have really enjoyed my time in this class and highly recommend it!!

If you are even considering taking this class. DO IT! Bri'ann is probably one of the best professors l have ever met. She is so passionate and extremely extremely kind. Her class flips back and fourth between learning the Ukulele and learning how to teach music to elementary students- which was just SUCH an interesting combo. The class is not a ton of work at all, it involves readings and sometimes preparing lesson plans/"practicing" for Ukulele checkpoints. But overall, super manageable class, super amazing professor, super supportive environment to learn and grow as a potential future teacher!

Bri'Ann is an awesome teacher! She is really knowledgeable and understanding. I took this class without being able to sing or play the ukulele and I never felt bad about my inability and gained a lot of confidence. All of the homework assignments were actually really helpful too.

Amazing amazing amazing!!! That's all I can say. She taught a super engaging class, and was extremely helpful and understanding about all assignments and work. Not so many assignments, and they were all manageable and easy to do
