Laurens PatzlaffGUEST
That's a good question.
Laurens PatzlaffGUEST
First of all, learning classical music and learning jazz is mostly nowadays divided.
Laurens PatzlaffGUEST
You have jazz musicians and you have classical musicians and they are normally totally different type of people.
Laurens PatzlaffGUEST
the way they dress or the way they appear at university is different, the way they think is different.
Laurens PatzlaffGUEST
But I actually figured out that these differences are not as big as we might think, because there are a lot of similarities in jazz music and in classical music, or maybe more than what musicians on both sides of the coin think, you know.
Lisa RuthHOST
Well, and I think that's very true.
Lisa RuthHOST
I know we even have a totally different department for jazz music at VCU, Virginia Commonwealth University, where I got my degree a couple of years ago.
Laurens PatzlaffGUEST
So the idea that we actually separate everything in a specific area is a product of the second half of the 20th century actually.
Lisa RuthHOST

Lloyd Van't HoffGUEST
yeah exactly exactly so i i always had like classical music around me and i was listening to that but yes to get back to the school systems um It was just a matter of good luck.

So what I would love to hear you talk about the future of classical music, what you're seeing in these new composers, in these new artists, and is it encouraging? How do you see what's happening right now, and what do you think the future is shaping up to be?
Lloyd Van't HoffGUEST
Yeah, that's a big question.
