The Music Major

Constant music. Notes, pieces, pianos, flutes, tubas cellos, every single instrument unites to make a very strange and chaotic symphony in the music building.  Students share favorite jazz mixes or orchestras on laptops, and almost everyone has one earphone in -> listening to this semester's goals and dreams for heir instrument.  Everyone spends almost every hour of every day in this building and it is like a sanctuary.  There is always constant studying, constant listening, and constant practicing to be done, but it all makes sense.  There is always a possible and achievable goal to be accomplished and only the student can discover their personalized path to getting there, whether it is successfully playing and singing a scale in solfege backwards, or playing the Lalo violin concerto in GSR.  The Music Major is one of the hardest majors, and yet it is also the most satisfying.
