Well i dont have any major regrets but the main one i do have is that i'm not as good as i wanted to be by my current age. There's always room for improvement though!

I wish that I... would have joined my high school jazz band ealier.
AND
I wish that I... would have picked up the bari sax sooner because it became my favorite instrument to play.

I started midyear when I was in 10th grade because they needed a bari sax player and my friend told the director that I had like 10yrs experience with the clarinet. The director took me on as long as I took sax lessons. So basically I learned the bari sax in a couple of weeks before my first performance with the jazz band. pirate

First off...

I wish I had joined band in 6th grade, rather than 7th.

Second, I also wish that I had realized that the clarinet IS a jazzy instrument. It practically was the original jazz instrument.

Lastly, I wish I had joined jazz band in sixth grade. But noooo, I didn't join 'till 8th...

I guess my main regret is not having learned jazz theory/composition. I also wish that there was a jazz program at my school, but I can't do anything about that. And that's also a large cause of my first regret. I also hate it when I think of good music (not just jazz) and don't write it down/record it; thus forgetting it later.

one of my very FEW regrets is that i didnt continue learning how to play the clarinet WHILE I played the saxophone. I just love the sound of a proffesional clarinet player. The other one is that I wish I had taken private lessons when I could get them for free. Now they are FREAKING EXPENSIVE xd

I wish that... I had started private lessons sooner, then I wouldn't have so many bad habits holding me back.

I also wish that there were more hours in the day to practice.

I Wish I had joined the advanced jazz group. I probably would be able to do it, it would have made my schedule easier, and I would be so much better at jazz. sweatdrop

I love jazz music and play it when ever I gey my hands on my trumpet
I just regret that jazz is not as popular with the rock crowd as it is with me
I love jazz and rock equally and ocver both genres in my playing
But, learning to play jazz is a lost cause without an audience there to enjoy with you
I am thinking of incorporating like a jazzy blues rock thing in my Ska band, but I have yet to be able to compose
