Week 1

Growing up I wasn’t too involved with music. I played the clarinet for a few years in elementary and middle school, but I gave it up as I didn’t have too much interest in it at that time. As I got into college, I became introduced to many people from various ethnic backgrounds and that’s when I started getting interested in music. I also at this time rediscovered traditional Indian music from my heritage, and I wanted to learn more about that too. Just in general, I'm not much of a performer, but I enjoy music from different cultures, mostly traditional and classical, and I hope to enrich my music experience by taking this class.
