Welcome to the Fall 2018 Composers' Forum blog! Here we'll collegially discuss the music of our many fascinating guests.
Each semester, you're required to write one blog post (about 500 words) discussing your reaction to a guest's music and/or their talk. We occasionally also have prompts that require everyone to write a shorter post on the same topic (for example, the first assignment about collaboration). When you're not blogging about a guest yourself, you do need to read other people's posts and leave a comment. This needn't be very long, and is a great way to stay engaged with each other's ideas. We'll be keeping track of who participates in the online discussion, so please chime in whenever there is an opportunity to write. We do not write about guests if they are NYU faculty, so there are weeks in which we won't be writing on the blog.
When you accept your invitation to the blog, please take a moment to set up your profile so we can all get to know each other! Fill in your Blogger profile with a short about me, and upload a picture of yourself. We'd love to hear about what kind of music you love (include 3 of your favorite artists/albums/pieces/songs—I know it's difficult!), the sort of work you do, and what program you're in at NYU, and any other interests you'd like us to know about. Include a link to your website/SoundCloud/other web presence as well, so we can all listen to your music. Some of you have Google Plus set up on your NYU emails, so if you can't do all this, it's fine—please have a picture, though!
You can edit your profile by accessing "user settings" under the "settings" tab on the left, and then clicking edit.
Finally, remember that this blog is private; only students in the class can see it, so don't be afraid to voice your opinions.
