Sounds of a Gregorian chant filled a Kellogg Center classroom Thursday night as an MSU Evening College class began a lecture on the beginning of classical scores. About 20 people listened to MSU Community Musical School Lecturer Patricia Nultemeier during her "Music Appreciation for the Classics" course as she warned her musically inclined students their interests might change as they move into medieval, renaissance and contemporary songs.

Some students enrolled in the MSU Evening College course because they said they felt an appreciation for classical arts is considered the mark of an educated person.
