Ok, for you who do not know I am a freshman at Wittenberg and I am a music education major. I do not know why I picked this major, only I do. I know that I love to teach people and I love music. Singing, playing piano and just listening to music. I started last semester with Music Theory 102 and I went in there thinking, hey I am good at reading music and all that. Well, those dreams got crushed with in the first class. Not only was the class hard, the teacher was such a mean, and horrible teacher. He did not teach, and would talk down to you if you asked a question. I know we should not make comments towards him but it was just there. After all he said, we felt like we had a right. ( his jokes suck big ones!) Also I am horrible at tapping and clapping rhythm, which he made funny of me all the freaking time. I felt like an idiot in that part.
I was so excited/really nervous for my new classes. All my friends and I (aunt leslie!) have the same classes since we are all music education, so big plus and great way to get off to a great start. I got to my Intermediate Mus. Theory class and was very excited because my new teacher (who is not new, just to me) would actually explain things to the class and he would make us feel comfortable with our knowing/not knowing. Next I was able to have a little break and hang with a friend I hadn't seen since the begining of break. Then on to The Devils class. (See first paragraph) I was so scared that I would be just as bad as I was in the first class. When we got in there, it was a totally different atomosphere, and I didn't feel like an idiot! I learned the basic conducting motion. Next was woodwinds, I will be learning how to play the obeo, clarinet, and 2 others. Next was Keyboarding! Boring on the first day cause I knew how to do all of the first chapter!
Work was fun, cause I got to hang with the co's! nice to have some friends outside of the major! Got home to Watch Superstars of dance!
That was my first day in a nut shell! It was so awsome! I have a good feelling about this year and semseter!

Glad to hear your first day back was a good one. Nothing like being exposed to different teaching styles/skills to help influence your own. Thanks for sending your blog our way.
