Last week was sophomore review for all music majors. We gave
the professors binders listing all our achievements and goals and thoughts
about music, then we individually performed a few pieces for them and were
tested on scales. With that over with, it wasn't as scary as we had built it up
in our heads. Since music is on my mind this week, here's a list of 14 reasons
why I love being a music major!
- Doing something I love every day
- Surrounded by people who love music as much as me
- Support and teamwork
- Seeing results of hard practice, whether over a week or 2 years
- Hard work really does pay off
- Learning more about something I love
- Discovering new ways of looking at things
- Being able to understand the music I'm playing
- Getting to listen to music and call it homework
- Getting to write music and call it homework
- Connections for future local gigs
- Our own building
- Secret top floor study area
- We're a family
I'm so glad I decided to be a
music major. Even though I won't be teaching or performing professionally, I
will continue to use everything I'm learning in my degree through the rest of
my life. Music can touch all aspects of your life, from being able to speak
intelligently about something you hear, to applying discipline and hard work,
to the importance of teamwork, to being comfortable being the center of attention.
