A Balanced Class

Devereux Cleo Wallace

The thing that sticks out most about this class is how balanced it was.  Since it was a Tuesday, the students had the majority of the day to work on music.  Nate reminded me how important it is for them to have individual attention, so we split up and moved from station to station listening to the students' songs and giving them encouragement and direction.  I've been making a lot of music lately, so my head is really into it, so it was genuinely enjoyable for me to see what everyone came up with and to participate in their creative processes.  I look forward to mixing and mastering some tracks in class so that the students get to see how that can really  enhance the sound of their songs.  It was a great week - we're hitting our stride.
