Not to be disparaging to anyone, but I notice that there aren't as many posts on this forum from the "younger set":-), except for the "mistakes" that belong on the regular board. By "younger set", I mean jr high through high school and college. Probably because those kids are too busy learning required repertoire to have time to bother with music that is largely recreational; i.e., played for fun, though it certainly may be played for profit. Jazz is now part of the curriculum, but klezmer and ethnic (Balkan, Eastern European) are not, at least as far as I know.
Kids make up a lot of the posts on the regular board. They seem to post whenever they have anything on their minds. They post on kid-specific issues, like audition pieces, schools, camps, the politics of marching band, etc, as well as a lot on general issues, such as technique, practicing, equipment. And as I said, they post more and more often, and respond more often to posts.
This does not account for all of it, but I believe it accounts for part of it.
Happy holidays to you as well.
