He always thought I was a show off, never learned my name even though I went to summer music institute and was there for four years. (he did call me "Jake" recently tho) Never learned my wife's name. He is definitely one of the best teachers I have ever had, but he wasn't infallable. I always felt like he didn't care about how well I did.transfer2BGSU wrote:I may not have said what he did so explicitly, but there are some of us that are not so enamored of Mr. Kelly.
Yes, but you had him as an instructor, no? I don't expect everyone to have a good opinion of Chief. I know several people who do not. They respected him, but didn't "like" him. That's fine because they got their opinion first hand........not current perceptions based on hearsay and faulty inference.transfer2BGSU wrote:I may not have said what he did so explicitly, but there are some of us that are not so enamored of Mr. Kelly.
Bingo. I was in Chief's last conducting class. I conduct like chief. Like a short little chief on crack. I speak reverently about him. I think about him and his teachings daily. He made some questionable choices on inerpretation when he conducted, I think he had favorites and favored them quite much.Rightupinthere wrote:Yes, but you had him as an instructor, no?

Laughable.I was basically pointing out that this person is reviewing an instructor who retired when they were more than likely in junior high. That goes for the positive views as well. I don't see the point in rating an instructor who retired ten years ago.

It scares me to think about how important I might be in someone's life down the road....
. I wouldn't say that. I would say we were having a LOT more fun than you......even waiting the 3 hours for you to get to the reception hall so we could chow!Ohiogal wrote:I think Mr. Kelly is a wonderful guy. He teased me quite a bit, mostly due to knowing my parents, but he cared about me as a person. I wasn't a music major but what he taught me in band has spilled over into my real life. You never remember a lot about your wedding reception, but I do remember how badly I wanted to go over and sit at the table with Mr. and Mrs. Kelly and Mark and Paula! I think they were having more fun than me!
