wow martin, you've really been through the ringer, eh?

i went to the New School for Social Research (or rejects, you decide), and
got a "BFA in jazz performance".
yeah that's right, somebody paid for that
:p

here's their current curriculum:
http://www.newschool.edu/jazz/Curriculum/preformance.html
it was much newer, and looser back when i was a student.

but i did take counterpoint from the renaissance through the baroque.
i had the one of the absolutely-most-scariest-professors for four-part
baroque.

he would go from desk to desk, pick up your homework, and read through it on
the spot (in his head). wincing, groaning, and "uh-oh, wait'll you guys hear
this".

personally, i never could read four-part sixteenth notes in my head....it
certainly was intimidating.
