Alphorn Schule
Most people get a Swiss watch for a grad school present. I decided to spend a week learning to play the alphorn in switzerland instead. What follows are some thoughts from this trip far off the standard path.

First night at alphorn school
2010_09_24 Notes from first night
In a debate school you expect people to stay up late talking. Guess what, the same is true for an alphorn class. Good thing i have the room at the end of the hall. For two hours after dark people wlked the halls in the dark. Thought it was a swiss green thing started to carry my flashlight.
Rooms are more like a hostel or barricks. Four beds to a room no tv no towels but the best view in the morning.
