I am SO pleased to see Robert Reisling discussed positively! He is my
sabbatical replacement next semester at Illinois Wesleyan University, and
I am proud to say I have performed with him and found him to be terrific!

He will be conducting my band, teaching my clarinet studio, and teaching
my conducting classes at IWU......surprisingly, he told me our
undergraduate students at IWU are stronger as a studio than his at UWO the
last couple of years. After hearing him play and seeing him teach a
master class, I realized he must have been exercising his humility!
