My name is Neha Bandrapalli. I am a Business major from Burlingame, California. Music has helped me understand a form of communication that transcends cultural and emotional differences. I see it as a way for us to understand one another. During this abroad, I am most excited to delve into different European cultures and learn more about classical music through a direct lens. I am most excited to visit Vienna. I have heard it is gorgeous and it seems that music is an intrinsic part of their culture. Music is a powerful tool that we can use to express emotion, create meaning, and convey purpose, and that is why it is so important to our society. The way we love, fear, and overcome can all be captured within a few keystrokes and strums. It is absolutely remarkable, and its ubiquitous influences touch all.
