Day 98: Materials

If you didn't fully understand the excitement from yesterday, I love this school. Before I get to the actual post, I have to say that I had a great voice lesson. I was so scared of it but my teacher helped calm me. Also, she is going to help me so much with my voice, or as I now view it, my human instrument. All I need for that class is some music and my voice; those are the course materials. Piano requires music and my hands. My other courses have stacks of books. When you open them though there are not equations or laws but music. Whether it's music theory or music history or actual music, it's music. I'm studying music and while it does cost a lot of money for the materials, the things I'll learn, the people I'll meet, and the journeys I'll travel on are priceless. Money makes the materials manifest, materials make the education possible, but it's the music inside the materials that makes this place the magical miracle of my life.
