(24,324 posts)I am in my 70's.. Seventy, to be exact. I have a BM, MM, DMA and a PhD. I sometimes forget my shopping list. But I took algebra, trig, calculus( I think), chemistry, physics, Spanish, Latin, astronomy, US history, world history, European history, English Composition and wrote a senior thesis on a history of jazz from 1910-1950.--all in High School.
All that when what I really spent time doing was playing music and studying with a member of the NY Philharmonic.
I'm on a roll here-
In undergrad school- music school-- French, German, Italian, Music History Survey, Baroque music, Classical music, romantic music, "contemporary music,' a courses on Mozart/Haydn (can you tell the difference?), Beethoven, Stravinsky, Bach/Handel, 2 years of composition lessons, 2 years of music theory, counterpoint, conducting, 4 years of private percussion lessons, 2 years of piano, opera history, English composition.....
Then on to grad school... whew, I'm getting tired just thinking about it....
You don't need to cut me any slack.
That's ok. I know what you meant.
I'm just enjoying your posts and having some fun..
