candylandI'm doing my Educational Psychology research paper rough draft. My topic is gender in music education, and it feels like it's turning into something of a feminist paper (~.~), but there's been some really interesting stuff. Here's one account I just had to put up for the record. The article was discussing how females are traditionally shut out from the conducting field.
** In 1936 American music student Anne Kullmer won a violin scholarship to the Leipzig Conservatory, where her attempt to gain admittance to the conducting class was "met with laughter." She continued to apply and, after six months of vain attempts was unexpectedly summoned, "to the great amusement of the other students," to show what she could do. She proceeded to conduct the entire Symphony in D Minor by Cesar Franck without a score, and was immediately accepted into the class. **
I find that hilarious, I really do. I'm also finding this paper extraordinarily interesting. If only I didn't have to have this rough draft done today...blaaaah...
Laters, all, I might post something else later. Ja!
