Many of my fellow college bound high-schoolers seem lost in this day and age. They pursue a field, usually with the best of intentions. They pick a college with their intended major. Nonetheless, they usually end up switching majors, or even colleges. Why is this? In many ways, it is due to a lack of commitment – not necessarily on the part of the student, but on the part of the education industrry.

The sparkling harmonic sequences led to soulful approaches and the balance between the improvised and the arranged was awesome. They kicked in with “To the Roach”, a piece dedicated to the drummer Max Roach, and proceeded with bubbling sax improvisations on “Coltrane Time”, Pope’s ballad “Cis” and an Afro-Latin piece packed with baritone fills whose title I couldn’t…
Whilst producing Figure 2, I discovered several key connections that I believe are significant. I think the demand for a local art club is the result of two factors. First, it was clear to me that political decisions around educational reform and the current curriculum have resulted in the decline of arts learning in schools (Neelands et al., 2015, p.44-45).

Since moving to Michigan, most…
