AMPL

So I'm sitting in a class right now called AMPL. I realize that I probably shouldn't be blogging in class, but oh well - today is just orientation, so I'm not missing much if I zone out for a few minutes.

AMPL stands for Applied Music Performance Lab. See, I take saxophone lessons through AU. I'm not a music major or anything fancy, but it's still a great program! So on Wednesday afternoons, all of the musicians taking lessons (voice and instrument) get together in the recital hall and watch live performances of their peers.

So today we've got a jazz combo playing, which should be really cool. AMPL is an awesome program that helps music students socialize and learn together. Plus, it's a chance to show off your stuff if you want to perform. If you play an intstrument, or want to learn an instrument, you should check out lessons. You take them for credit, so they're really cheap!
