Bach to Rock
East Term II 2006
Quite possibly the most "interesting" class ever. Was taught at East II 2006 by Anu Kirk (aka Sid Luscious) and Adam Tober (aka "The Emo/Scene Kid" (although he wasn't really (at all))) - also known as "the guys with the tattoos", the judges at the lip synch, and "oh my God, those are your teachers?".
It was determined here that Prince, Michael Angelo, and Bach - but mostly Prince - are the best guitarists ever. And Duran Duran kicks major ass.
Class Members:
- Eric Mefford, Tyler Mefford, Alexis Chaney, Maria Hall, AC/DC, Thor Tobiassen, Bobby Prengle, (aka the girl with pink hair), Erin P. Kelly, Emily Sharp, Mary Morris, Savannah Lloyd, Billy McCormick, Lara Kessler/Adrienne Pearson, Adrienne Pearson/Lara Kessler, Katie Martinez, Kat Hines, Austin Neely (though there is some debate as to whether or not he was actually IN the class), Ben Morrell, Sarah Lowe
They will continue busting fugues, writing sonatas (preferably for box fans and chalkboards), rioting, putting bananas in pianos, and just being flat out hardcore. When it doubt, listen to Brian Eno.
Later on at East Term 1 2008, the class was brought back by TA Annie Searcy and Teacher Christy. However it was no-longer what it had been rumoured to have been in the past and resulted in roughly two weeks wasted on remote classical music and one week attempting to make the course fit its title.
Originally titled "A History of 20th Century Music", the class was first taught at East II in 1999 with a TA. The class was taught again during East II in 2000 by Anu Kirk and Adam Tober. Taught a third time during East II in 2001 by Anu Kirk and Adam Tober.
It is rumored that Anu only teaches during East II because that's when he had the most fun as a TIP student. His B2R classes were taught in the same classroom he had his first class in the 1880s.
East Term II 2010
In 2010, East Term II, the class was taught by Liz Heppard and Peter Sloan as the TA. The class may or may not have included quacking at Liz, banging on desks, having inspiring Ultimate speeches recited by Peter before games to "The Final Countdown", being vaguely reminded of things that happened last night, comparing Peter's hair and Male Pattern Baldness, discussing dreams of talking mountain dew bottles, being INDIE INDIE INDIE (let's not forget triangles) and tacking 'bro' onto and into as many words and names as possible (ShostaBROvich, anyone?).
East Term II 2011
Bach to Rock was taught again in East Term 2, 2011 by Josh Foy and TA Page Stephens. The lucky TiPsters who got to experience walking to the far-away lands of Biddle for what may or may not have been the best BtR class in the world were: Ben Grace Ryan Julia Brendon Vanessa Michael Lindsey Alexandra Lindsay Patrick Mary Sean Carolyn Gentry Katie Kersey Ana Sue Anne
This class was a tip-perience that taught us amazing tipsters about composition(like composing mushrooms, Julia) to teach us the history of 20th century music, to teach us about music theory. we all gained so much from this class and truth be old others were jealous of us. why? because every day was a jam session, we had no test and if we did then it was for fun to laugh at almost. we has the good life because our research projects were about swing dancing and led zeppelin and there was more music then words on our power pints. the big project we had completed was getting the lit licences class to write a short opera(they did it in about 4 hours!!!) and we composed the score of music to go along with it. and the amazing thing about ti was that we wrote all of this music by ourselves, we did not use computers we only went down to the practice rooms and brought our instruments with us and jammed up a writing session. we did however perform our final sections called the family recceit in the talent show as we were the final performers. there are so many things to say about this class but the one thing that stick with my mind is... "ha. ha. ha. mewwsic humor" ~grace gelpi ; and on the third day, josh said "let there be light" so he taught us 12 tone scales.
