Student Information Sheet

• Please fill out the Student Information Sheet
• I will NOT ask you to play or sing individually
  but please let me know if you have ever played an
  instrument, even for a short time.
• Please note that if you are musically proficient
  and can read music that you might be interested
  in taking EDCI 316 Fall 09 instead of EDCI 306.
  This course is for music majors, and is more
  extensive and covers teaching general, vocal and
  instrumental music. Please see me if you want to
  substitute EDCI 316 for EDCI 306.
• You need to become familiar with the new Desire
  to Learn (D2L) online system as we will be using
  that for handing in assignments and grading.
  Well have a lab in the future on how to use it.

Syllabus Worksheet

• I am amazed at the number of students who dont
  read the syllabus (although I sympathize with the
  length). You should have followed the brief
  orientation to the syllabus today. Now please
  fill out the syllabus worksheet so I know there
  is no miscommunication regarding the expectations
  of this course.

Pre-Test Music Skills Assessment

• Many (if not most) of you might not be able to
  complete much of this music skills assessment.
  This is expected so dont panic (just wait til
  you take it later in the semesteryoull be
  surprised at how much youve learned!).
• You can leave when you have handed in the
  assessment

FOR NEXT CLASS

• You need to purchase the textbook we will use it
  almost every class. If you buy a used one please
  make sure it has a CD and a cardboard musical
  keyboard included. READ CHAPTER 1.
• You will receive an email from me this
  weekplease reply so that I know we are
  connected.
• We will be using the MSU-B Desire to Learn (D2L)
  server (only this class can get into the
  folder)...please check that you can access this.
  Instructions are on my electronic syllabus

I think music in itself is healing. Its an
explosive expression of humanity. Its something
we are all touched by. No matter what culture
were from, everyone loves music.Billy Joel
