| Re: Grass Roots
You're making a lot of sense. More and more students are left alone in the classroom to do modules. The teacher just hangs around to help out if the student doesn't understand something. I'm doing everything to prevent my children from attending those types of classrooms. Probably will have to send them to private school. As I said earlier in this post we need to entertain sometimes. We cannot forget who our listeners really are. If music is fun people will follow. Even tonight despite a star studded cast (including Ingrid, Kevin Turcotte, Jocelyn Couture, Lina Allamano and the rest of the jazz ensemble)I'm reluctant to attend the concert since it is very avant garde music. Not because I don't appreciate this type of music but because I know that these players and the rest of the members in the band can really swing and improvise but won't be able to since they will be stuck in the form that was chosen for them by the composer(Darcy James Argue's Secret Society North). I hope I'm wrong, if so at least I'll be able to have a beer with the gang!
