Awesome
Professor Perkins is one of the most passionate music educators I've ever worked with. He goes so far beyond notes and rhythm. He emphasizes the true meaning of the music we sing and the culture or history behind it. Also, he's very experimental when it comes to teaching. Some people hate this, but I think it makes Butler's Choir unique.
