Hey everyone,

My name is Jarrod and I'm a junior in Arts & Sciences. I have loved music ever since I was very young. I started playing the violin when I was 3 years  old, and I have since studied the clarinet, piano, and saxophone (though some of these very briefly). Right now I am studying voice here at Cornell, and I am a member of the Cornell Glee Club.

I have some limited experience with composing; I took Intro to Music Theory (for non-majors) and I have played around with Finale and Sibelius. I really enjoy classical and choral music, but also a lot of pop and rock songs as well. My favorite modern artists are probably Imogen Heap and Poe, and I'm hoping that this class will help me to understand a lot more about their music (and how to make some of my own!).

I look forward to meeting everyone, and to learning from all of you this semester!
