For the last post, i must answer three questions.
1. What is something you learned about another culture this term that surprised or intrigued you?
-something I learned in this term about another culture is how much different cultures borrow from one another, and turn what they've borrowed into something new and wonderful and unique in itself.
2. What is something that you realized about your own culture through our discussions?
-most of what we listen to isn't from our own culture....
3. What is something that this course has inspired you to learn more about?
-I really want to know more about the other instruments of different cultures. I loved seeing how each instrument evolved into the instruments we have today, knowing the ones we use now will continue to be changed and "improved" to the end of time.
Sorry this post is a little shorter, it is direct and to the point I must admit. I want to say thank you Dr. Vaneman for everything you taught us this semester and I look forward to the next three and a half years at Converse, particularly in the music building.
Also, thank you to whatever members of the class decide to read this, I sincerely enjoyed every class period learning by ya'll's sides. Have a wonderful break and maybe I'll see all of you soon!
The best, God bless,
Lydia
Thank you for your kind words, Lydia. And yes, instruments across the globe are fascinating---just keep looking for them, wherever you go. (But do remember to take the visual into account when posting things online---this particular entry is quite difficult for old eyes to read.)
