This is a thread for telling about your favorite or coolest teacher (or professor), whether present or past.
My coolest teacher would have to by my one band teacher (we have two). He is just an awesome guy all around. He is really dedicated to what he does, a great musician and composer, and a great teacher. And he always keeps you laughing, sometimes going off on tangents about random thoughts he's having. He can be crazy, but he knows when to settle the class down to get to work. I think his teaching method is perfect. He's relaxed and almost like a teenager with his students, which is awesome, but it doesn't inhibit his teaching at all. He is the best teacher I know.
Oh, and besides that, he plays Xbox 360 and talks about it a lot . He says he can't play with us until we graduate, but come graduation day, I'm getting his gamertag . And he's not a nerdy old guy, he's a young, awesome guy, in his 30's... he bicycles as a hobby/to stay fit. He also plays Rock Band with his wife (they just got married either 1 or 2 years ago, I think) and talks about wanting to bring it in to school to play during class. He's amazing.
What about you guys?
