Even though the musicians were in Michigan‚ I had the full experience right inside my dorm room. The webcast was a really interesting experience that I enjoyed.

The reason I chose Mozart’s Symphony No. 40 (1st movement) is because it really stood out to me out of all the pieces we heard in class and that are on the Moodle Website.

I have experienced this firsthand through working with the Dallas Arboretum to help people enjoy the nature and navigate their way through the gardens.
