Hallie, I have been thinking

Hallie, I have been thinking a lot about how to really define literacy and though my ideas are not directly linked to music I have some of the same thoughts. However music is a wonderful way to try to understand different literacies and different discourses. Cultural capitol has a lot to do with how we navigate our social settings. Are their certain types of music that certain discourses are literate in? How does one navigate what type of music or study of music a particular social setting values?  Your post also questions productivity. I wonder what types of literacy are more valued than others and are some not valued at all? 

p.s. I love your drawing!
