Review:
Professor Clark works hard to earn the admiration of his students and, even more so, that of the Music Dept. faculty. He is without question a credentialed and talented conductor. His gregarious demeanor is generally well received by students but he does however demonstrate an inability to pull together planned concert works in time for scheduled performances, requiring many unscheduled added rehearsals and admonishing students who are unable to attend. He stipulates in writing that Chamber Singers require a full year commitment, thus deterring many students from auditioning since it is difficult to project schedules from one semester to the next. He also has backed off of this requirement for certain favored students who are unable to meet the terms of their original selection process. After I did not audition last fall because I couldn't commit for the spring, I see he has posted auditions for both Chorale and Chamber Singers. Honestly, this is not fair to other students who signed on for the full year in order to be eligible to travel abroad for the spring tour. This injustice was the final straw that prompted me to submit this review. He is teaching a full credit course in Musicianship this semester and I will be interested to read the reviews.

Workload:
Too many added rehearsals at the 11th hour. Original posted rehearsal schedule and attendance expectations is very fair for a 1/2 credit commitment.

Concert repertoire too ambitious and unrealistic for time allotted.
