
I will NOT ask you to play or sing individually but please let me
know if you have ever played an instrument, even for a short
time.
Please note that if you are musically proficient and can read
music that you might be interested in taking EDU 397I Fall 11
instead of EDU 397F. This course is for music majors, and is
more extensive and covers teaching general, vocal and
instrumental music. Please see me if you want to substitute
EDU 397I for EDU 397F.
You need to become familiar with the Desire to Learn (D2L) online
system as we will be using that for handing in assignments and
grading. We’ll have a lab in the future on how to use it.
Syllabus Worksheet
I am amazed at the number of students who
don’t read the syllabus (although I sympathize
with the length). You should have followed the
brief orientation to the syllabus today. Now
please fill out the syllabus worksheet so I know
there is no miscommunication regarding the
expectations of this course.
You can access my course electronic syllabus at

Pre-Test Music Skills Assessment
Many (if not most) of you might not be able
to complete much of this music skills
assessment. This is expected so don’t
panic (just wait ‘til you take it later in the
semester…you’ll be surprised at how
much you’ve learned!).
You can leave when you have handed in
the assessment…
FOR NEXT CLASS:
You need to purchase the textbook; we will use it almost
every class. If you buy a used one please make sure it
has a cardboard musical keyboard included. READ
CHAPTER 1.
You also need to buy a bluebook for Tuesday.
You will receive an email from me this week…please
reply so that I know we are “connected.”
We will be using the MSU-B Desire to Learn (D2L)
server (only this class can get into the folder)...please
check that you can access this. Instructions are on my
electronic syllabus
(http://www.msubillings.edu/COEFaculty/barfield )
See you Tuesday!
“I think music in itself is healing.
It’s an explosive expression of
humanity. It’s something we are
all touched by. No matter what
culture we’re from, everyone
loves music.”
Billy Joel
