As I am blogging this, the students of my Music & Philosophy course are taking their final exam. Here you can see the first page of it, where they are required to label the parts of the banjo. How many parts can YOU label? (Click on the image to see a larger version.) Also as a part of the exam, I played a song and the students had to write a review of it. The song I chose? "Old Pervert" from The Soft Boys' 1980 album Underwater Moonlight.
The rest of the exam had boring questions like How does Eduard Hanslick expand on his characterization of music as "tonally moving forms" (and on Kant's characterization of music as "just a beautiful play of sensations)?
Oh look, the first person just finished, with an hour and a half to spare. Hmm....
