Pre-course readings

The reading list has begun.  Emily and I have gotten some pdf's and ordered some books to begin reading for school.  I share with you a new found quote from "How Musical is Man?" by John Blacking.

"The very existence of a professional performer (musician)... depends on listeners who in one important respect must be no less musically proficient than he is.  They must be able to distinguish and interrelate different patterns of sound." 

Thus we are all musicians and we are all musically talented, just not all in western style music.
