Hi everyone. My name is Grace. I'm here to learn more about jazz. I'm a beginner composer and try to learn as much as I can from different genres. Hope to find useful tips here.

Sure Grace, feel free to ask questions. By the way, I majored in composition in college.

That's nice! Do you still love music after all these years in a college? I'm asking because it's very hard to love to play or to create music when you've been told for several years how to play and what to play without any opportunity to improvise.

Oh I left college a long time ago and we were never discouraged from improvising anyway. We had classes on improvisation, just like most music schools.
