So we are 6 months into the year and I'v got about 15 weeks of formal music education under my belt. It feels good, I feel that I'm en route to where I need to be. I however feel like Art can't be taught as a rigid thing, in a do this or that or you're screwed sort of fashion. I mean I get that is has an originating source and so on, especially music. But most of us chose Jazz for the freedom. I wanna still be myself after this degree, keep my own expression of music.
I think I understand why some artist don't like the education part of Art. I mean what does it mean about your Art when a mark is attached to it? I mean it's Art you know. So I've decided that I'm gonna make a separation between my marks and my music..My focus is growing as a musician and remaining myself, my biggest fear is becoming some version of my teachers...whooo! I mean they are great and everything but can I just remain Sabby?!
