Listening

I took Professor Langguth's FYS class, Thinking About Listening, first semester. At the end of the term, we had to do projects that related to the course and one student chose to do how music impacts us. He talked about different kinds of music, like quiet and loud, or soothing or invigorating. It was really interesting to learn about why certain music makes us relaxed and so on. When we discussed music and sounds in class, this was all I could think about. Than on our sound walk, sitting outside you can "hear" the wind as it blows through the trees, and the chatter of the class working on the sculpture. It was really relaxing which proves the point that music plays an essential part in appreciating nature and whats around you.
