No beef  ;)<br/><br/>That particular year of music class was just particularly grim for me.  It also both introduced me to and ruined me for the Black Eyed Peas.<br/><br/>It was actually my last music class.  After that I just started taking guitar and bass lessons from my old man.  It was a much more relaxed (and controlled) environment which just worked out better for me.  A few years later I<em>would</em>actually sculpt an ocarina as part of a pottery experiment ... it held a tune pretty well for a dragon-shaped piece of kitsch, but I gifted it away almost as soon as it was done.  The<em>sound</em>, you know ... and I had a little brother who<em>was</em>still big into Zelda.
