The Art-A-Thon event, I attended was the “Playing the Blues in One Simple Lesson.” To begin with, I had no idea, Baruch had music and instrument rooms. I walked through the 7th floor oohing and awwing over my music room discovery. At first I was expecting it to be a long and large group lecture on music. However, when I walked into the room where the event was being hosted, it was actually a small room lecture with a grand piano inside with a music professor running it. The professor was really nice and informative about blues. She explained how blues had this certain rhythm and melody while being played on a piano. I personally thought the best part about her lecture was the fact that she had students try play blues hands on the piano while she helped and guide us. I learned that the piano, if the pedestal was footed down could actually be played like a harp by the strings inside. Overall, I think the event was a fun and it was a nice exposure to blues music.
