[Dixielandjazz] What they teach in college these days...

[Mike C.]

Ok, then define music. What if one is just dedicated to their way of 
music? Music is about expression,  language and storytelling. Not 
everyone tells their story the same way. Some have new ways of 
expressing things. I don't think you can just say to someone "Your way 
of expression is wrong until you've learned the basics and discipline of 
expression." There is no right or wrong way to express yourself or tell 
your own story.
