Ah, music — an art based on freedom and expression.
Whether the music is slow or fast, pop or rock, quiet or loud, it gives voice to the emotions that we cannot express. Now with the second half of the school year upon us, music new and old will find a way into our lives over the next five months.
Time to grab your headphones, because what you’re about to read will provide you and your ears with a musical glimpse into the spring semester.
