Also getting good reviews from

Mike Yturaldl plays a variety of Instruments and also composes
music for the land.
•You learn to compose through trial and error," he said. It takes
years of listening tn other people, copying other people, and stealing
from other people. And you really do learn from stealing."
As' to the chances of becoming a success In the music field,

Yturaldl gave Ms opinion as to why Jazz Isn't as popular as other
types of music.
•I think people would accept lt If they were exposed to It," he said.
•Some of my friends are used to going to rock concerts, but when I
take them to a Jazz concert they'll really like lt. It's a powerful
sound," Yturaldl said.
Certainly jazz has gained status In the last several years, since
It Is a relatively new genre for most college bands.
Said Pollart, 'Jazz bands probably wouldn't have been accepted
In many academic currlculums about ten years ago. Now every high
school and college campus has to have a Jazz band.*
The CSUF Jazz Band will play May 12 at 8 p.m. In the College
