Welcome! (Comment required)

Welcome to the class blog for the MUS130B rotation on playing in and leading drum circles, improvising using your voices and major instruments (if you're not a voice major), and creating structured, partially-composed, partially-improvised pieces we call "comprovisations."

We use the blog to discuss reading and listening assignments in advance of class discussion, and to contribute to an ongoing discussion about our lives as musicians and members of musical communities.\

By the end of each of the 2.33 weeks we have together, your assignment is to:

• write one original post (we'll explain the difference in class), and
• write comments on a minimum of five posts authored by others (including me).

To make sure you've got the hang of things, post a quick comment now (probably in class, if you've brought your laptop!).
