Hi, my name is Simran Malhotra. I am a senior majoring in Global and Public Health Sciences, and minoring in Creative Writing and Healthy Futures. Music has always been a huge part of my life growing up. I was an avid clarinetist for 9 years and did some music theory in high school. One of my biggest regrets is not doing music in college, and I am hoping to change that in my final year at Cornell. MUSIC 1421 has been a class I have wanted to take since my freshman year, and I am excited to be a part of it! I have dabbled in very basic GarageBand production, and some composition in my spare time; but I am looking forward to actually gaining concrete skills in digital music composition and software in this class.
