World music sounds interesting. Wonder if you'll cover Indian Classical Music in any depth.

Well, this being a single semester class and the world being a big place I doubt it although the professor is the same guy I had for Jazz History and he is killer and does not teach like the other faculty so you never know.
 
Ok. I guess I did alright.

The final semester (for this chapter) starts next Tuesday.

I'm sitting here going over my degree audit and paying my grad fee and that kind of shit today and firing off emails to various advisors making sure they've done what they say they've taken care of.
 
Back to school tomorrow. Just did my online work for my "Human Behavioral Ecology" class today. I think I'm going to dig this more than I realized. The first reading was all about evolution and why creationism and "Intelligent Design" is bullshit. Tomorrow I start World Music with my Jazz History professor which I'm also looking forward to. Nothing on Wednesday and then more World Music and Jazz Pedagogy. Performance groups will start next week for me...
 
Not sure what to report. going to classes. very frustrated with one component to this semester that I won't discuss publically. gearing up for my recital next month. very tired.

The needle drop was six selections from 236 recordings. Then I had to write short essays on teaching kids how to swing, block scheduling in public schools, why jazz education is important and a description of jazz history from 1900-1955
