World Music

I realized, after reading through some of my entries, that I always talk about homework and extra-curricular activities but I have never really told you about any specific classes. Right now, I am in a world music class, which is one of my favorite classes this semester. In this class, we are studying all types of music from all over the world, focusing specifically in India, China, Sub-Saharan Africa, Indonesia, Latin America and Native America. We study everything from dance to instruments to theater and teaching practices, to religious music, music influences and past and present music. This class is not particularly difficult but it is interesting and I feel like I am learning a lot from it.
