COMING HOME FROM 911 THE STORY

DODECAHEDRUMING GOOD, BAD & UGLY

ABOUT THE SCHOOL:
Instantly I was captured.  Muruga’s thoughts on music really help open my eyes even more.  He helped me to feel the reason why I’m here at R.I.D.  His spirit is really strong for music and I was able to feel it.  Muruga explained in his own words about the passion I have always felt about music.  I’m thankful for his inspiring words on this subject.  This helps me reassure I’m where I’m supposed to be.  Here learning about music.

MURUGA SEMINAR
Wow!  I really like this guy.  I really hope that I’m still that inspired when I reach 60.  Just Awesome!  I love how he focused on the emotion and expression in music and how it relates to and directly affects the technical aspect of it. How they come together.  I’ve gotta talk to this guy more.  I really like what he said about drum machines, using his extensive knowledge about drumming to program creative and expressive forms instead of using it as a crutch.

ABOUT THE SCHOOL:
Thank you for inviting Muruga to participate in the class!  His visit provided myself and others with inspirational views and the RID staff displays a professional atmosphere at all times.
ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR:
Muruga:  He's passionate, experienced and opened minded.  I respected his openness and enjoyed the input in the class and the session.  Muruga did not rush the project...displaying patience.  At the end of the evening his energy was still going.  I can tell he loves music.
ABOUT THIS CLASS:
This class is very informative.  Packed with information.  It provides a little of everything!  It does not just focus on one particular subject.  The instructors don't mind re-hashing the lessons so that students fully understand.
