Yes, me. But it's the nature of parents to wish the best for their kids...they don't like to take riscs. This limits the development of the creative skills at a young age unless you have a very strong personality. On the other hand, musical institutions often use the "classical" approach to learn you everything about music, but something like "improvisation" is usually not on the menu. Maybe in jazz. I'm taking lessons at a music academy twice a week. Some guys in my class know I'm making improv music but they don't understand how you do that, they think you're coming from outerspace. It's not possible to make/play music without taking instrument lessons first for 5 years. Imo education is too much driven by theory and technique. They forget the creative part. That's why I'm thinking of doing some workshops about what I do...can't wait to see those eyes ;) --- Sjaak http://euroloopfest.com/ http://sjaakovergaauw.com/ http://www.last.fm/music/Sjaak+Overgaauw __________________________________ Scarlet schrapt download limiet!
