Hey!

 My name is Alexandra Stewart, although I just go by Alex. This upcoming semester I will be beginning my senior year here at Saint Mike’s. I am an Environmental Studies major with a Music minor. I’m from Spencer, NY which is a small town that relatively nobody has heard of. It’s about 20 minutes south of Ithaca, NY.

 I chose to participate in this course primarily because it will complete my music minor. I also felt as though it would be quite enjoyable to work on over the summer since it will allow for us to all be exposed to some new music we may have never heard otherwise.

 I’ve always been involved with music, especially throughout high school, participating in orchestras, choirs, and whatever else I could get myself into. Although I don’t participate in any ensembles at St Mike’s, I chose to add a music minor so I could continue learning more and not forget what knowledge in the field I already have.

 I am not quite sure what I hope to learn about rock. But, I am very excited to be exposed to some new music during this class and come away with some knowledge on the history of rock which I probably would not have otherwise gone out of my way to teach myself without this course. I have already taken a look through some of what we will be reading for the class and i'm pretty excited.

 It’s so difficult to choose a favorite song. But lately I have been listening to the artist Woodkid while on my way to work. Here is my current favorite song of his:
