Yes, I don't like it when they assign class books to read and you have to end up doing projects for them.,...they end up choosing really boring books...

Yes that can end very bad, because some teachers donīt have any taste at all... But otherwise you get to know lots of different books and itīs often the case that you get to know a new author you are fascinated of!

My dad bought me this AWESOME book called "This is Your Brain on Music" and it explains sooo many cool things! It talks about different frequencies, why different instruments have different timbres, and why we like the sound of a clarinet as opposed to a buzz saw. Even non-musicians can read it without being confused, and musicians learn something that they didn't know before... which is really cool. It's from both a scientific and musical perspective, and since I love both, I love the book! Really, you should check it out, at least borrow it from the library if you don't want to get a copy of your own.

Sure: His name is Daniel J. Levitin, and he's a professor of music at McGill Univeristy in Quebec. I don't know if there are any German translations, but your English is pretty much perfect anyway...

No problema, amiga. It's true though... I need to practice my French more... we just learned about direct and indirect object pronouns... like "je lui parle" and "je l'aime" and "j'y irai" but we just had a test and I got 100%! For basic French, that's not saying a lot. Anyway, get the book, it's good:)
