College Music Appreciation

My first year in college I decided to take a class called music appreciation. Music appreciation I thought was going to be a pretty BS Class come on come to class listen to a couple CDs you say a couple of important sounding things and give me my A.

Well, not so in this case. Well, not so in this case. What I experienced to music appreciation was very different than what I would have normally expected. Music appreciation was a fantastic class that opened my eyes to different types of music that I have not listened to. Go figure music appreciation?

Just when you think you’ve heard every song or every be a new one comes out and crushes that thought process in your brain. I very much appreciate the different styles of music available to meet and often I try to not seek out different music.
