Music 101

[wyld-stallyn.livejournal.com]

[OOC: A bit early, but it's Thursday here, so yeah. Also, these classes will be slow-timed. Post whenever. I don't care! And, like Ted said earlier, attendance is optional, but it's an easy class, so easy grades]


Music 101

Greetings, little people type dudes!

My name is Ted 'Theodore' Logan. You can call me Ted 'Theodore' Logan or Professor Ted (*grins at Other Medieval Chick*).

This class is pretty laid back, and sometimes I won't feel so good because sometimes I fall asleep and leave my headphones blasting Megadeth all night and while I can sleep through it, my head MAJORLY hurts in the morning. So, uh, be prepared for changes to the schedule and all that.

Um, so, hey! In this class you'll learn a lot about rock. principalconnor wants you little dudes and babes to get, like, a full and enriched education or something, so we're gonna get some guest teachers in some weeks to do some non-rock stuff. Like, Professor Beethoven will come in and teach you about classical stuff and then we'll get him to play on the electric keyboards. He loves those.

Depending on whether my most excellent friend Bill is in town, we might get him to bring along some other notable historical figures like, uh, Joan of Arc who is very into dance music and other notable classical figures such as Ringo and a young Eddie Van Halen!

But for today, I'm gonna put on this tape of Mr Van Halen's early work and my TA, Really Short Dude, is gonna give out some handouts that you can fill out. Don't worry, it's NOT homework. If you don't finish it by the end of class, leave it here and we'll hand it out next time for you to finish. This is so I know your level of musical expertise and get to know you a little better.
