• What I plan to learn: A more educated outlook on different cultures and their impact on modern music.
• 3 Guidelines: 1) No offensive language 2) Always read over a post/comment before posting it 3) Posts should reflect full ideas (no 1 word posts)
• Hardest part: Finding a place to study/do homework. Avoiding distractions (electronics, people, concerts)  and focussing on schoolwork

• I want to learn the stories behind the music. As a dancer, I know my dances convey a message. Dancing explains that without using words. Music does the same. I just have no clue what it’s saying.
• Don’t speak over each other, we will all be heard. If you have something on your mind, let it be known. There’s no such thing as a stupid question.
• Biggest Challenges: I’m not exactly sure. When I get to the challenge you will know.

• Trying to find new friends that have the same interests as me, while keeping some close high school friends.

• I would like to learn as much as possible from my Professor because even though I know some knowledge of music it would be nice to know more terminology as well as music period.Especially since I'm a dance major and music is something you use to free yourself in so many ways.

• 1) Make sure you speak LOUD and clear so the whole class can hear you during discussion. 2) Stay engaged in class discussions 3) Try and be helpful in anyway for your classmates during discussion or anything

• I really can't say what will be the biggest challenge because I haven't faced it yet

Allie Royer,

• Personally I want to learn the fundamentals of music. I feel like the basics would just being something good to know and can become very useful.
• Guidelines: 1) be quiet when someone else is talking 2) don't interrupt 3) get involved
• I personally feel like the biggest challenge will just be understanding music better. I don't have a strong music background so in general this is all new to me.
