jazz harmony

i just want to say how much i love this class. it's all the chords and stuff that i love to do.

i wrote a piece the other day using all this big, schmaltzy jazz chords and i gave it to my professor today to look over it. after i handed it to him, i realized that i had suddenly become shaky. i guess i had a reason to be nervous; he's a monster jazz musician. i kind of want him to e-mail me with his reaction, but i'll probably wind up talking to him on wednesday when we have class again. what i'd really like to do is take private jazz theory lessons with him. i think at the end of the semester, i'll ask him about it and see what he says.

otherwise, my classes are going excellently. i can boast (again, but it's worth boasting about) that i'm bauer-free this semester, and i hope to maintain this trend until i graduate. (not likely, but i can dream, can't i?) my electronics class is boring, but it'll be an easy A as long as i do well on the tests. musicianship is a breeze, chorus and guitar ensemble are easy enough and keyboard musicianship, i still have no idea what i'm doing for that class. i'll find out tomorrow as well i suppose.
