Music Production Started As A Hobby And Quickly Turned Into A Passion
Ami Moregore

In my sophomore year of high school, I was able to choose two electives. I was so excited––of course, I was going to stick to journalism, but I was finally going to branch out and do something different and fun besides my core classes.

When I was shown the list of electives, my eyes sped through the options until I saw Music Tech. That past summer, I had started to get into music production.

However, there was only one way in which I could get better, by taking a class that would help me in the long run.

Why did I get into music production? Short answer: all of my friends were doing it, and it looked like a lot of fun.

It was as simple as downloading a free trial of a DAW (digital audio workstation) suggested from a friend that used to do music in a band. From there, all I could do is learn, and eventually, produce.

I had always been doing some form of music while I was in school. I wanted to learn how to play the saxophone in middle school, but my mom thought it would take away from my academics. Instead, I did choir. I came to appreciate everything about music and truly refined myself in finding the music I really liked.

I wanted to be more creative with what I was doing instead of just simply writing. Listening to video game remixes only furthered my drive want to do the same. All of the friends that I've met while creating my own video game remixes have not only helped me with the craft but welcomed me for doing so.

It only started as a hobby, but it's been one heck of a ride.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
