The last couple weeks for instance I played in a vibes quintet at the local 'spot' for jazz, with a popular local big band, and was a stage manager at the Jazz Education Network Conference in Dallas TX. I immediately got hooked and it's my wish to play it forever! Now I have many experiences from playing solo to big bands, and have performed and traveled all over the country. I decided to 'choose' jazz to study, I had listened to some but not a ton. I was really into rock and then extreme metal for most of my time in high school, and I knew I wanted to study music in college but death metal isn't exactly the easiest thing to major in. Briefly about me: I'm a junior jazz studies at a midwest conservatory, and have been playing music since I was 6 (piano/composition first, and then guitar when I was 11). I'm happy that so many responded positively with a wish for some sort of regular advice/column/blog resource here, and I definitely think this subreddit needs it.
