Sorry about the lack of posts. We all got busy with school and I especially got wrapped up in finals. I am so glad that they are over. I am excited that it is Summer for me but I am kind of stressing myself out with the amount of work that I want to accomplish.
I am a music theory and composition major and my professors would really like for me to "get hot" about a composer so that I can model their composition structure (my professor literally said "get hot" lol). I am excited but I don't want to let myself down by expecting to get a certain amount of work done when I know that I won't. I think that I can do the work I have assigned to myself though.
First, I have assigned myself to read Listening to Western Music (Sixth Edition) so that I understand the different music periods.

Then I have assigned myself to read the Artist's Way to help myself to praise God while writing music and be more confident in myself.
Then I have assigned myself to listen to, I believe, 18 CDs to help me understand different composers and their music.
I know that it sounds nerdy and it sounds like a lot, but I think that I can do it. I'll keep you updated on the interesting things that I learn :)
