About Me

I am a student from south central Pennsylvania studying Music Recording Technology and Music Theory. I love to make original compositions and collaborate with my fellow human beings; not only musically but also through videos, blogs, and other forms of electronic communication. My overall goal is to attend graduate school in the field of Music Theory and to become a professor of musical theory on the collegiate level so I can share my love and passion for the science of sound and music with other people.

    A comment on Conversation: Why don't we treat science experiments like primetime TV?

    Feb 23 2013: Jay,

    What a question! I'm glad you mentioned the online video format for science education and things. In fact, there is a whole Youtube science community (Veritasium, Periodic Videos, etc.) dedicated to these kinds of visual experiments. But this raises an interesting point that although television is one of the main communications mediums in the world today, I don't think it will always be so. So, it might be that scientific content might never reach the television. However, the television watchers might eventually reach the scientific content on the internet (the song "Video Killed the Radio Star" comes to mind).

    I love your concept, though. It's so important to make sure that people who have even a very low understanding of science (but have high interest) have access to short methods of conveying information that will help make the world smarter. Which is why I love TED-Ed, as well as Youtube channels such as SciShow among other things. So, maybe it's better for science to remain off of long-form media such as television?
