‘Blair School of Music’
I Might As Well Be Living in The Sound of Music
Apr. 24, 2012—It's concert and performance season, and I'm not missing any opportunities to cheer on my friends in their musical endeavors. Perhaps one day their talents will rub off on me. Fingers crossed!
Living Sounds Concert
Apr. 9, 2012—Last Wednesday I went to my first concert at the Blair School of Music, and I had a great time! I went to the Living Sounds Concert, which is a concert put on by Blair several times throughout the year. It offers a chance for student composers to premiere pieces they have been working on,...
Rand’s Holiday Feast
Dec. 8, 2011—Instead of the usual Quiznos for dinner, last night I feasted on lamb, oysters, mashed potatoes, and asparagus. No, I’m not an amazing cook all of sudden, but rather Rand hosted its annual Holiday Celebration from 5-8pm.
Acting for an “A”
Dec. 6, 2011—For my Fundamentals of Theatre class, the final project was performing a short scene for the entire class. We were not simply given a script and told what to do by our professor, but rather the performances were entirely student-run.
Home for the Weekend: Lotus Festival
Oct. 5, 2011—This weekend marked my first and only trip back home (the wonderful Bloomington, IN) until the end of the semester. And what a great weekend it was: international music, dancing, and home-cooked meals! Oh my!
American Music Recital
Apr. 11, 2011—As you may have noticed before, I go to a lot of Blair concerts. I’m really not that cultured in the arts, it’s just that my roommate and one of my best friends are in Blair, so I’ve met a bunch of cool people from there or Spirit of Gold (the marching band).
Random Weekend Festivities
Mar. 27, 2011—This weekend was randomly busy for me, but in a very fun, I-didn’t-do-much-actual-homework kind of way! Friday was the AOII formal, and then Saturday kicked off with the Inaugural I-40 Faceoff: Vandy vs. UT hockey game!
Class helped me meet a celebrity…
Mar. 10, 2011—Piggybacking off of what fellow blogger Lindsey Rothrock talked about in her post “Homework: Go to a Concert”, I have been in three music classes (American Music, African Music, and Blues) where I have had to attend concerts and write small papers on them. These active assignments encourage students to explore Nashville for what it...
NINE
Jan. 22, 2011—Keepin’ it short and sweet here. I went to see Vanderbilt Off Broadway’s (VOB) production of NINE: The Musical tonight at Blair (after journeying to the wrong part of campus… One could logically assume a musical would be in the “theater.”), and it was phenomenal. There were parts where a few singers were pitchy, or...
You Don’t Have to “Go Out” To Have a Good Time on the Weekends
Nov. 14, 2010—I was able to have an awesome time in the comfort of my own dorm room last night. Just a few months ago, I purchased and set up a small studio rig in my dorm room because of a new found hobby of recording music. The screenshot above shows a mix that I spend the...
