She just hoped this didn't turn out to be like those stupid choir classes her (well meaning but misguided) mother had signed her up for. Who wanted to sing a song about trombones when you could sing about your angst?

Sky took a seat, filled out the paper and sat back. "Hello, professor!"

SPOILER!!: name card

Xavier smiled at the girl, "I'm not a Professor, Miss." he said. "But hello to you too."

Being classically trained in the piano since she could stand really, music had been a part of Kurumi's upbringing - even if she came to loathe it at times.

Slowly stepping foot in the room, Kurumi bowed to the man. "Good day...sir," she said, not knowing who he was and failing to see his name on the board - the fifth year was rather distracted with her own thoughts at the moment. Finding a seat, Kurumi made her name tag and set it on her desk.

Ahh, a prefect. Somehow Xavier had never quite been prefect material... He grinned at the girl. "Good day."

Aurora.

Yep, he knew her passion for music and so, he wanted to learn about it... and so he was here. He took a seat at the front row and scribbled his name down on the card.

Xavier nodded politely at the young man who took a seat at the front. Ahh, Escalante... that rang a bell.

It soundes awesome! Raven was very interested in music. She walked to the divination tower and entered the classroom.

"Good day, Dr. MacNally." she smiled. Then she took a seat, wrote her name on the card.

"Good day." he replied. All these students were so polite!

Text Cut: name card

And then sat back and waited for the seminar to start. This was supposed to be about Musical Magical Theory? Alyssa couldn't wait to for class to start.

"Hello." Xavier replied.

Shaking the sense into herself, she grinned at the person. "Hi!" she grinned before walking to her seat and filling in a namecard.

Was that Scott Joplin?

Xavier grinned, "Hi!" he replied.

Listening to the professor as he played the piano, she filled out the name card:

She passed the prfessor as she took her seat. "Hello, sir." she said smiling. "You play beautifully." she commented.

"Hello." he replied with a polite nod of the head. "Thank you. It's years of practice." And she'd brought her violin... that could be useful. Though she may want to use one of his own instruments for part of the lesson.

After several moments of stitch-clutching and wheezing, William took a name card and took a seat somewhat near the front. With all of his heavy breathing, he hadn't given notice to the man playing a magnificent piano. Feeling it was rather futile to attempt to greet the musician over the pleasant melody, he resorted to taking out a quill and bottle of ink from his bag and writing neatly on the card.

Placing the card on the front edge of his desk, William silently sat at his desk. He hadn't made many friends at Hogwarts yet, and he was quite sure he had no musical talent. He was not even sure why he was here; he had never even heard of a Magical Music Theory class before.
"This will be interesting," he said, half sarcastically, as more students entered the classroom.

Xavier blinked slightly as a boy came in gasping. "Hello." he said, motioning for the boy to sit down before he hyperventilated.

It was a hidden talent of hers that she had only broken out twice in a class at school, but she loved the flute none-the-less; so a class in theory would be a refreshing and nice change of pace.

As she walked into the room with a slight spring in her step Selina nodded at the Professor and said, "Hello Professor MacNally. Having a lovely day so far?"

Then she took her seat with the rest of her peers and wrote on the card:

SPOILER!!: the card

"Hello. Yes, thank you, I'm having a marvelous day." replied Xavier.

Once Xavier had finished greeting the students he ended his tune with a flourish and stood up from the piano, softly closing the lid on the keys. He picked up the conductor’s baton from the music stand, and motioned for silence as though quietening an orchestra, then he put the baton behind his ear and clasped his hands in front of him.

“Good afternoon, class and welcome to the lesson.” he said in his soft Scottish accent, smiling around at the students. “My name,” he gestured to the blackboard, “Is Dr MacNally and I have been invited into your school to teach you the basics of Magical Music Theory.” This was so exciting! He loved new students. He recognised one or two of them – some of his private students – but new faces were always refreshing.

Here goes. “So, before we start, can anybody tell me the difference between Magical Music Theory and Ordinary Music Theory?” he asked, smiling around at the room, he was sure some of them would have very intuitive answers, younger students always did – adults usually tried to explain things in far too boring terms. And music is not supposed to be boring.

The seminar has now STARTED. Please don't arrive late! Just RP your character being here all along. Have fun!
