- [00:00:02.498][drum beats]
- [00:00:10.922]I'm John from the Glen Korff School of Music at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
- [00:00:14.744]Music is the glue in my life. It keeps everything together when I think
- [00:00:20.898]that everything is going to fall apart.
- [00:00:23.373]Everybody's got a soundtrack playing in their heads; the soundtrack to their life,
- [00:00:27.382]and I think I, kind of, just learned how to write it down.
- [00:00:31.193]People always ask me what music I listen to and I think it just depends on the day.
- [00:00:35.039]Sometimes I'm, like, literally listening to speed metal, like deathcore,
- [00:00:38.090]like [growl], and then the next day it's like... Bach, you know?
- [00:00:43.694]Each instrument has a different personality and it's just like meeting a
- [00:00:48.037]new person. You get to figure out what you like and what you don't like, but you love
- [00:00:52.170]them for their faults anyway.
- [00:00:54.162]At Nebraska, I never thought that I'd have the opportunity to meet big people in the
- [00:00:58.340]business, but already in two years I've traveled to China and New York and
- [00:01:03.475]I've been able to meet these kinds of people and that's been invaluable.
- [00:01:07.094]When you're writing your papers, sometimes the people that you cite are your
- [00:01:10.004]professors that are teaching the class because they wrote the material and that's
- [00:01:13.884]just so cool to me.
- [00:01:15.763]When I was looking at colleges, I wasn't exactly sure what I wanted to study in
- [00:01:19.346]music. I knew I wanted to teach and I knew I wanted to write music. When I looked at
- [00:01:23.246]other schools, I couldn't find any programs that allowed me to do both.
- [00:01:27.310]I just kept coming back to the University of Nebraska, which has a music education
- [00:01:31.416]program with a composition emphasis. And so at the end of the day
- [00:01:34.818]there really was no other choice.
