Ahhhhhh! Chord progressions! Oh, I remember having to learn those! All those everlasting rules. I bet that if you were to wake me up in the middle of the night, I'd either hit your or mumble "one. . . four. . . five. . . five-seven. . . one," and go back to sleep. Beginning theory (chord progressions are pretty basic) is the pits, but once you know it, it's a useful tool to have.
Sounds like Macalaurë is adapting well to being in a schoolroom. And the food carts in the courtyard. . . I love that detail, because there are about a dozen food carts that take up residence on the mall just outside the music building at the University in fair weather. Sometimes I get sushi.
So, is Macalaurë taking instrument lessons? He seems pretty good on harp -- does he have a voice teacher, too, or is he picking up another instrument? He and Vingarië might be able to make "use" of a practice room -- it's a standing music-school joke, probably common to all music schools, that the practice rooms get used for more than just instrument practice.
