DUE 8/27 08 (must be posted by midnight on 8/27)

1. Write a short musical biography of yourself. Include in the biography the following items: Name, your major, what kind of music you listen to, the last music you purchased, whether or not you download/purchase music online, and the last musical event you attended, such as a concert, etc. Also include information about musical training, for instance the instruments you play and/or experience you have. Finally, include any other information you think would be important or just enjoyable for me to know.

2. What does it mean to be an “artist”? Who do you think is a great artist today in the music business? What is the genre they perform and what is it about them that makes them an “artist”? Define music in your own terms. Use terminology from chapters 1-6 of “The Enjoyment of Music.”
