Response to other Blogs

As I was reading some of the other blogs, I noticed a couple people were thinking about connecting their literacies of music with writing. When Trixie first brought this connection up in class, I did not think that I would be able to relate to it much. I love music and listen to it daily. I also took band all through high school playing the Flute, but I never really put much thought into my ability to read and perform music.

When I sat down to write my literacy narrative, I began writing about my childhood and thinking about some of the first literacies I developed. I concentrated on the ones that I felt passionate about. I was surprised to find music did appear in my paper. As I kept writing I was surprised to find many connections with music and writing. I concentrated on how my mind worked, the different aspects involved in reading and performing music, and how these could relate to writing as well. I'm not sure if this helps anyone who was struggling with the idea of connecting music with writing, but I was very surprised to find its appearance in my literacy narrative.
