Concerning Computers and Music Class:

Dear whoever reads this:

I just had the most amazing, fun, creative final I’ve ever done.  This class in general allows me to tap into my creative abilities, rather than spit out memorized information.  I feel accomplished and glad with myself, every time I complete a project that makes me smile.

We went through several topics of computer usage, including composing music on Finale and Sibelius, utilizing neat programs to put together digital movies, learning how to blog, and, by the end of it, being able to create my very own “musical” movie.

I have never felt so accomplished with any other class in my entire life.  I am truly right-brained, so this experience, to put together project that require thinking outside the box and abstract thoughts, was just the perfect class for me.  I recommend it for anyone who has the time and motivation to delve into their creative capacities.

I just wanted to mention that this class is also very enjoyable because our Professor loves it.  I couldn’t help but laugh because, as she ushered us out of the room this morning so she could put together the final, she looks so excited.  I think this final might be one of the coolest projects to grade, like ever!

P.S.  I’m not sure if this project was fair use or not.  I did try to download a certain video from YouTube, and it didn’t let me. I think it  would have been unfair use on my part if I had found a way to download the video anyway.  In my opinion, the videos that we are allowed to download might be alright, unless they haven’t actually yet been checked by the people who work for YouTube.  In addition, if we did unlawfully take clips, it’s technically for our knowledge and understanding. And we aren’t going to sell or try to copyright our finals.  I think it’s alright.
