Make sure to book time. As of now, it might get a bit more difficult to catch me on the fly, since my schedule seems to have filled up a bit lately, so if you need me for anything regarding your classes, I repeat, book the time. Don't be afraid to book in advance if you're not sure, too.
Music Class
General overview is done! Those of you concentrating on classical music have to pick your major composer of preference by next week. Those of you who went the popular music route, I expect names and suggestions by then as well. Next week will be all about what you'd like to look at in particular regardless of the chosen musical style, so we can define your goals for the term.
Independent Music Study
There are time slots each week reserved only for you. I encourage you to touch base with me at least once a week, so we can make sure there's not backtracking needed at any point.
History of Music
Suggestions for the next module are open. Email me with your thoughts, but this is me encouraging that you all talk about this here, as well. You might find out interesting things about your fellow students and it allows those not in the class to offer you suggestions and ideas as well.
PCIF
I've renewed the booking on the music for you for band practice through the term. Enjoy!
Booking the Music Room
As you can see, classes are already marked out, as is band practice and vocal practice (Terry, I'm looking at you). The remaining time is open for anyone to reserve it - you are however expected to reserve at least a day in advance. Otherwise, it's on a first come first serve basis. Also note that the time slots I've reserved for myself each day is to be considered as up for grabs if I haven't shown up within ten minutes of the start time.
Booking the Dance Room
If some of you want to get in more practice, I'm sure something can be arranged. Talk to Kurt, myself or Madelyn on that one and we'll work it out.

I know it's not your field...
Date: 2005-02-01 04:47 pm (UTC)And have you had any luck arranging the little field trip we discussed as well? Figure it couldn't hurt to meet some of these people and get a feel (HAH! A joke!) for how they operate. I'm fairly sure the entire game's rigged, but that shouldn't stop me from playing, should it? ;)
And I still think the Dance class should have a segment on exotic dance.
Manuel
And yet!
Date: 2005-02-01 05:09 pm (UTC)As for that, funny you should ask! We've got a choice - two friends are willing to offer a tour, at two different locations as well as answer any questions you might have. One is more of a local thing while the other is a bit larger. Both need to be scheduled though and I can't go this week unfortunately. Shall we try to get something settled as of next week?
Exotic dancing? I missed something somewhere, right? Well... if you want to learn, you could always talk to Kurt and see what he can work out? I'm thinking it might not fly though.
You missed a joke.
Date: 2005-02-01 06:06 pm (UTC)I was amusing myself by perpetuating the joke.
I still like the XServe, dammit, as far as servers go. And I'm trying to keep the pool of people in-the-know down to a bare minimum, remember? I want it to be judged on its own merits, not just condemned universally because it has my name on it.
Get back to me on scheduling - set it up, I'll make the room in my schedule for it to happen.
Manuel
Aaaaah.
Date: 2005-02-01 06:18 pm (UTC)Bare minimum it will be, but there are a few issues we can discuss off the journals that require a slight widening of those in the know.
I'll do that then. It's a lot easier to work around their time requirements than to try and match things up.

Date: 2005-02-01 08:35 pm (UTC)Jogging and riding is early tomorrow morning, right?
*g*
Re: *innocent*
Date: 2005-02-01 08:40 pm (UTC)I'll go practice batting my eyelashes in an innocent fashion now.
Re: *innocent*
Date: 2005-02-01 08:54 pm (UTC)And I'll meet you at the main entrance bright and early, then!
Re: *innocent*
Date: 2005-02-01 09:24 pm (UTC)We are such dorks. "Whee! Five AM!"
Re: You missed a joke.
Date: 2005-02-01 08:27 pm (UTC)And you do me little justice. I am a super genius, of course I understand your sense of humor.
That would make you...
Date: 2005-02-02 01:26 pm (UTC)I guess it's a start!

Date: 2005-02-01 07:58 pm (UTC)but if I am, I should um...do something about that. yes.

Date: 2005-02-01 08:10 pm (UTC)We can talk about things after if you decide you want to join the class? :)

Date: 2005-02-01 08:27 pm (UTC)We're gonna need--well, I kinda hate to say it, but we could probably use a substitute lead guitar until Jono gets his body back. I definitely noticed it on Saturday.
And can we do bagpipes in History of Music?
no subject
Date: 2005-02-01 08:37 pm (UTC)Hrm. Well then - does the band have any suggestions or preferences?
Ooh. Now, that gives me ideas. And since we've got two suggestions so far, we're set to add both to the list. We have room for a fair bit more. :)
no subject
Date: 2005-02-01 08:46 pm (UTC)And I dunno, that's why I mentioned it, so we could discuss.
no subject
Date: 2005-02-01 09:27 pm (UTC)Okay, not really the flugelhorn. I just like saying 'flugelhorn'. Flugelhorn, flugelhorn, flugelhorn.
:)
no subject
Date: 2005-02-01 09:41 pm (UTC)And oooh. Learning an instrument! I approve! Any preferences, or do I just throw you at stuff until you find something that you like?
Although... I do have a beginner student learning the keyboards right now.
no subject
Date: 2005-02-01 10:41 pm (UTC)This is me telling you I'm gonna talk to you about this one. Cause you said advance notice was good. Gonna come find you now.

Date: 2005-02-02 01:12 am (UTC)My other half...
Date: 2005-02-02 02:31 am (UTC)Screw your liberalism!
Manuel
Re: My other half...
Date: 2005-02-02 06:12 am (UTC)As she would tell you...
Date: 2005-02-02 12:13 pm (UTC)And there's a huge difference between New York punk and London punk. If they've done one, then it's time to do the other.
