Blog 1: Introduction

After listening to today's discussion, it is apparent that music has several different interpretations throughout history and even today. As an amateur musician, I do agree with that fact that music is everywhere all around us and not just coming through speakers of an audio system. I believe anything and anyone can make music as John Cage points out in his 4:33. The main reason I took this course was because I wanted to get a better understanding of the history of music and learn how it evolved overtime into what it is today. I'm looking forward to learning more about Hamilton's perspective on the subject and how it applies to our music today.
