First Thoughts

I can understand the hesitancy of many students when confronted with atonal music. When one is not continually subjected to this type of music and lives in a tonal environment, it would be normal to doubt the reasons behind this particular assignment. I admit that i've always been interested in 20th century music and the exploration of atonality, unlike some of my fellow students. Many would assume that an original liking of this music would make this project easier, but that wouldn't be an accurate assumption. As I have grown musically within a mainly tonal environment I am still hesitant and anxious about diving into this new compositional frame of mind. I honestly appreciate this push, and cannot wait to delve even further!
