I have taken stained glass, german, italian, folk art painting, and web design classes.

 

I saw that too.
best part would be teh temperature and humidity stability not affecting the tune.
CF would just be really really stable.

funny part is as an engineer I 'understand' music but from a perspective most people never see.
but I don't translate that to ability to play.

I did sign up for a 'intro' class in college. prof's assumption was you had four years of music in high school if you were in his class. WRONG!!
I had no F'ing idea what he was talking about.
20 minutes into the class I was out of there.

 

Yeah, there's quite a lot of depth involved in music. Especially things like Music Theory. My problem is that as an engineer, I find the standard musical system to be inefficient. But I guess it's my fault for wanting to change the way it's written instead of adapting to the accepted standard.

In college, I had the opposite. One of the "general electives" was "Music Appreciation, where you did not have to have any musical experience or ability. So having a music in my background, it was a piece of cake, but the biggest benefit is that I was one of the few college kids who actually listened to classical music because they liked it. I still do.

Nothing impresses me more than listening to someone like Itzhak Perlman play... it's actually somewhat humbling to hear someone play something faster than I can think.

 

ooh I took that class. It was awful and I love classical too.
This was back in the day of turntables and 'needles'.
I swear the Prof got his music collection from Ronco or Timelife books.
They were awful, it was truly painful to listen to scratchy bad recordings on crappy equipment.
