The answers to your questions are in the same book you got them out of. If you like music played from a book, you musn't like jazz. Jazz cannot be played the same way twice. I feel sorry for your 'students' for having to even know you. If you are a music teacher, then that could explain it. Those who can't play, talk about it. I can take a small child and tell within 30 seconds if music could be in their future. It's cruel to 'teach' music to untalented individuals by untalented individuals. Talented ones need not be taught. Especially by those who teach instead of play. ..........Your defense of jazz reminds me of the dung beetle. What is pure sh/t to most, is a God-send to those who enjoy sh/t. I guess if sh/t makes you happy, consume all you want. I know sh/t when I hear it, smell it, and respond to it. Best of luck to your students. They'll need it..........so long newbee.
