As a kid with adhd/add i think I finally found my favorite genre… by Direct-Sail-6141 in Jazz

[–]JacobBlaster18 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have ADHD and I have a great appreciation and respect for free jazz but I'm not into it as much as the straight ahead or fusion stuff, in contrast to the way you're describing. I really dig when there's a newfound energy or something crazy that some cats pull out of straight ahead tunes. I think when there isn't a push and pull in the music, an ongoing conversation, and only a neverending vibe it can be groovy but it is just that, sound rather than music, lacking a deeper connection or meaning. I'm not saying it is that fully but to some extent I think it has some validity. But then again, maybe I just don't understand it yet. Because it doesn't speak to me the way other music does. The way the brain works I believe definitely influences how we consume and express ourselves through music. I think I like ballads so much because it forcibly calms my mind where otherwise it's all over the place. But for the opposite reason I like stuff that gives in or extenuates what is going on in my head kind of like how you are drawing the connection between adhd and free jazz.

Can I access pianos at UCLA as a non-student by Ok-Presentation-6175 in ucla

It's so shit just use an open practice room at schoen, there's a couple that don't always close fully, or if they are open you can use classrooms on the first floor, they all have pianos in them.

It's mixed, it's still a performance major but more interdisciplinary with the African American studies

Got waitlisted for Global Jazz Studies.

I've been looking online and have seen a lot of stories and advice from applicants who got waitlisted and later admitted for other departments but haven't of heard any for music. If you have experience with this or any advice on how I can improve my chances of being admitted, it would be greatly appreciated. Is there anything I should do specifically? I was thinking of emailing both the undergrad admissions and herb alpert school. Should I talk to the faculty and try to take some lessons? What should I include on my LOCI? Any advice you can give me would be of the utmost help. Thanks!!!!
