Hi guys, my name is Jocelyn and I’m a senior Information Science major. I’ve been trying to get into this course for some time now (yay for senior status!) because I love technology and I love music. I took classical piano lessons for twelve years and picked up guitar recently on my own (just simple chords and tabs), and I enjoy singing and writing and playing music. When my parents got a Mac computer while I was in high school, I discovered the wonders of Garageband and began to record my own music. I almost went to Belmont U in Nashville for songwriting, but I decided to keep music a hobby. I’m not an expert by any means, and my recordings tend to have flaws even after days of work, but I really enjoy creatively trying to figure out what “sounds good” in a song and (more so) in a multitrack recording. I tend to gravitate towards a coffeehouse / folk feel, but I truly enjoy almost every genre.
I would love to walk away from this class with some recordings I’m really proud of, and with the knowledge necessary to effectively use music software in the future. I am open to collaborate with other creatively minded people and trade skills if possible. I’m interested in potentially having cello, flute, mandolin, banjo, … really anything as the occasion arises 🙂 So, yeah hit me up if you need a pianist, and I’m excited to start hearing everyone’s work!
