Hi, my name is Cory; and I am a university student who is pursuing a degree in physics. I’m making this blog as part of a class called Explorations in Music (which as you may notice is the rather creative inspiration for my blog title). In this blog I hope you will be able to join me on this journey of music education to learn a bit about how music works. Along the way I hope to share with you some of the music that I like too!
While my chosen area of study (physics) may not have much to do with music, that doesn’t mean that I’m not a little bit knowledgeable on the topic! I have played, listened to, and performed music for about 10 years now. I started playing the viola (which is kinda like a violin but with a deeper tone) in school as a kid and quickly fell in love with it. I joined every music group I could, and even auditioned into joining my local youth philharmonic orchestra. This doesn’t mean that I listen to only classical music though; far from it, I like all kinds of music from classical to rock and I look forward to sharing some of my favorites with you!
With that in mind, here’s one of my favorite songs: “Hail To The King” by Avenged Sevenfold

Great work, glad you understand music so well and share your understanding through such a wonderful platform.

Without physics, there wouldn’t be music.

Hi Cory,
Seems like you must know quite a bit about music! I only briefly played the tuba for a few years in middle school, and attempted to play the bass guitar, but wish I had more knowledge about music.
Even though I am primarily interested in metal, I don’t listen to much of Avenged Sevenfold. However, I do enjoy a few of their songs such as the one you posted and “Sheperd of Fire.” Are you interested in any other metal bands?

Wow, I have always loved the sound of the violin, as well as the viola. I really wish I had gotten lessons earlier on in life.
