I enjoyed visited the Jazz museum and learning about how Jazz music evolved in the city of New Orleans. Louis Armstrong was one famous musician that we learned about, and we were even able to visit a park near Congo Square where a statute of him was placed. Another musician that stuck out to me while we were visiting the Jazz museum was Professor Longhair. Professor Longhair was famous for his magical piano playing, and played pieces entitled, "Rumba Mambo, Calypso Blues, and Barrelhouse Boggie". Outside of the Jazz museum, I loved hearing all the amazing musicians playing on the streets. The pure talent the people playing their instruments on the streets had amazes me. I wonder how much time it took them to get that good at playing. Also, it was interesting to learn that music skills are passed down from generation to generation.
