Pompous Text Books

Here's a funny exert from my introductory singing class:
"Because the act of singing is generally conceptualized as a superhuman achievement, novice singers tend to...etc. blah blah blah."

I really like how my book for my introductory singing class considers singing to be superhuman. Obviously, the vocal professor who wrote this book considers his field of study to be superhuman. Many of us really love and enjoy what we study but none of us will ever know the pleasure of being a superhuman unless we decide to become a singer with a PhD.

I also enjoy the fact that the difficulty of my music classes has decreased drastically now that I am done with music theory. My singing class teaches me really fun things like how to read notes and sing "Amazing Grace". Heck yeah music minor XD.
