Entrance Exams, Part Deux!!

So I got the results of my exams.......results as follows:

RE: Hearing: I've been place in level 2 (which is actually level 3 when you consider that it begins with MUS 499 Into to Hearing, then Hearing I (MUS501) and then my class Hearing II (MUS 503) . Of course all the wickedly smart organists made it into MUs 549 - Advanced Hearing.

I've met the Prof. and she seems to be an absolute genius, and a bit nutty to boot. That's my kind of combo! One of her former students maintains a quote log, which should give you a bit of insight into her way of doing things. I'ts just enough Epley-esque that I think I'm going to be very engaged.

"I'm into glue these days."

"In the B section, the brass is no longer rocking on."

"This is not a lukewarm, namby-pamby cadence."

"This is an *especially* dominant 7th chord."

"This dominant 4/2 chord has four measures of concentrated detergent power."

"With respect to harmony, measure 5 is pungent."

"My, what a unique last name! No identity theft for you!"

"Could the three musketeers in the front row calm down a little bit?"

"I sound like I should be locked up!"

[upon seeing the desk arrangement in Parker Hall] "I feel like I'm up here and you're all out there like a bunch of bankers!"

"It's not about what I want. Well yes it is."

RE: Music History Exam

I was actually able to test out of the Survey of Music History course, thereby allowing me to choose my Music History credit from a large pool of options. Not surprisingly I've opted for MUS 588 - "Masterpieces of Music before 1750" which will focus on a slew of composers including my perennial favorites....Purcell, Tallis, Monteverdi, those sexy Franco-Flemish dudes, as well as a good smattering of the Italian masters.

So, it's kudos to ME!
