BLOG-O-RAMA (The Dirty Sanchez Experience)

Hmm…let’s see. I am very happy with my choice of major so far. I’m really into the subject, and I like our school’s program very much. I like the fact that the college stresses a lot about having a well-rounded education, which I guess is the goal of a liberal arts college. I don’t necessarily mean just a well-rounded education in general, but rather and more precisely a well-rounded music education. We just don’t learn the tech side and that only of our major, but we also expand our knowledge of music & aural theory and voice proficiency, and also need to keep our musicianship up as well. So far I like the school’s staff a lot and think it’s great how they work as a close-knit team to really help their students succeed. I think it’s very helpful and beneficial, and I think we have great teachers lecturing our classes. However, as Dr. Day taught us all, an intelligent man once said, “With every action comes an equal and opposite reaction.” Although my analogy differs slighty in the equal part, Isaac Newton’s law also reflects my thoughts on my choice of major at this school. So far I like the program a lot, but I just think it’s unfortunate and quite a bummer that freshmen do not have personal access to our school’s studios. Although I do understand why such a rule would be enforced for several reasons, I just get slightly irritated by this. Also, I hope you don’t get offended by this Dr. Hill because I mean no personal offence at all, but I feel like our Survey to Music Industry class was not completely necessary all the time. Your book is a great aid and way of learning about recording technology, and I believe it is very easy to understand and is very well structured; I’m sure I’m going to be using it still in the future to come too. But I just felt that we didn’t always get a lot accomplished in class. It’s not your fault, it’s just that lots of the time there wasn’t much material to cover. I’d say my favorite class this semester was last class I believe, when we went to Studio A and learned about and reviewed facts about mics. I think this course would have been much funner if we had more classes learning about gear. All in all, I’m still excited about my major and I’m looking forward to finishing these following years with my rad MRT classmates. Good luck in any and all of your class voice, aural theory, music theory, and piano class tests and quizzes. And lastly, goodluck to our classmates who have already decided this program isn’t for them. I hope your future major makes you very content.

Proteck yo’ neck,
