Project Description

Right next to this text you will find our class project and materials - your unique music journal!

Tips for using your music journal:

1. Although it is not required, Andrew recommends you print out a physical copy of the journal. Use it to jot down notes or thoughts as you progress through the course.

2. Be sure to be creative with your journal! Feel free to brainstorm and mark it up! There is no "right" or "wrong" answer to most of the sections.

3. Force yourself to dive past surface-level answers. Try using the questions like "why do I think that" or "is there another way to think about this?", then write about that
