Hi everyone, My name is Mahpara Elahi. I am currently a senior majoring in English. This is my last semester at Queens College. I am originally from Bangladesh and my plan after graduation is to get my master’s in Early Childhood Education. Since I have changed my major last semester this class was one of my requirements and was also recommend by professor Karen. I love listening to music in general. I mostly listen to Hindi and Bengali music. I believe music is such an important aspect of life. As a future teacher, it is very important to use music in our classroom and I am very excited to learn more about it from this class and everyone.
