i also am having somewhat of a similar situation. there is a professor in the music department (he's in charge of the insturmentalists) that does not get along with the other professors. And in return he takes out his dislike on the students of voice. I happen to be one of those students. When I did my jury last semester he gave me a D, and the other professors gave me B+, A-, A. Not consistant with those grades. He tells everyone that I don't belong in that department, even tho I make the dean's list. Now I am at my wits end, next sem. I have him for a teacher in 20th century music and he has told me right in front of other students that I will not pass his class. He has said about my voice that If I were an instrumentalist I would never make it into his section. Because of the unprofessionalism in that school between professors I suffer and it has gotton to the point where I am thinking of quiting also. But I am not going to give him that pleasure. I want to sing and sing well, so I will stick it out cause I have a wonderful voice teacher. Janis
