Blog 4: Music in my Life

  I enjoy listening to all the different types of music that we listen to in class.  There is so much diversity in music.  I am looking forward to listening to many more different kinds of music in this class.  I am familiar with some of the composers we have discussed in class.  I took 8 ½ years of piano, and it was a great way for me to relax.  I do not have much time anymore to do piano and I do miss it.  Music is a great relaxer, and I have expanded my music library a great deal in the last few years because I want different kinds of music to listen to.  There are some types of music that I do not care for, but other people like these genres, and they help them express who they are.  I am going to school to be a teacher and music is a great way to add diversity to any classroom.  It can also be the basis of many classroom activities.  I love listening to music and want to be able to incorporate it in to my teaching as much as possible.
