i hope the music program i plan on doing has us playing jazz. i played in my middle school jazz band for only a year? maybe year and a half and i didnt listen to jazz outside of school - only when in the car wit my late grandpa. but i remember really fuckin enjoying it and granted i was playing the drums, i'd like to go back to that genre. there's a well of knowledge i could learn from jazz (and blues) that i could take into my playing metal.

that said ive seen social media posts from the program and it looks like they play a lot of pop music (and some rock music but lets be honest, that can still fall under pop).

i just hope my instructor also happens to like jazz and metal lmao

#jericho.txt #obviously jazz and blues are the parents of rock and metal #doom metal takes A LOT from blues #i just think you make for a better musician when you know different genres - and i know thats not a unique take at all #clearly tho as a kid who played classical jazz and broadway music #i could tell even then that they were important to learn #man i really did myself a disservice not fighting to be back in band when i moved halfway thru the school year #i shouldve kept it up in high school #if only my mom was one of those parents who encouraged their kid to keep up wit their stuff #she was pretty relaxed on that type of stuff
