Where should I start if I want to find good classical music?

January 42010

I’ve always loved when my music teachers played classical music in class, but I’ve come to realize that this is only because they knew which performances and composers were good. I like classical music but I really don’t know about different periods or performers and I’d like to. I like the more dramatic stuff, something that really sweeps me into it – and I tend to like minor songs more than major.

Can anyone help a girl surrounded in pop music and psychedelic rock?

November 162009

I like classical music. Well i like allot of music. From classical to jpop to kpop to Apop and music in the UK.

No girl knows i like music from japan and classical.
What would be her reaction if one did find out?

If she truly likes you then she will look past the fact that you have differences in music. And that’s what matters most. Don’t try to impress other, just be yourself and you will be happier that way.And then the people that except it are ur true friends.

Can classical music be played effectively on guitar ?

November 112009

Everytime I see a demonstration of classical music it is shown on the piano, with the guitarist.. as a back up for the most.

However, I am a guitarist, and unless I become seriously rich, I do not see myself investing in a piano, when I can already play guitar.. i just don’t have the money.

So, can a guitarist really play classical music effectively, or is this a genre solely for painists ?

P.S. yes I know the piano has a wider range than a guitar.

yes yes it can.
much more finger work with the strumming hand though.

check out Andres Segovia

Or is this just a fallacy.I’d like to listen while reciting or reading.Which is more effective? Thanks

Mental prowess is not enhanced by listening to classical music. This is just a bunch of hype, to sell more Mozart CDs.

What other music can I listen to other than classical that will make my baby more intelligent?

November 52009

I am right around that time where my baby can start hearing things outside the womb (im 20 weeks) so I want to start listening to music thats beneficial to my baby but I really don’t like classical music, is there anything else that is proven to make babies more intelligent?

They did studies where they have found this to be a myth. Classical music doesn’t make your baby smarter. But, I think it is probably nice for them to listen to regardless. It is soothing and this could also soothe them after they are born. I would just listen to what you like. Sing aloud! Your baby will love hearing your voice now and after birth as well!

Whats some really good classical music to start listening to?

November 32009

I’m new to classical music and I would like to know some good composers and orchestra to listen to.

If you really want a classical music experience, one that will stick with you for a long time to come, one that leaves you wondering how you could have gone so long without witnessing such a fantastic event, such sound that you get goosebumps, chills, your hairs stand on end, your eyes mist up and you begin to weep though you have no idea why, you stand up and cheer as if your team is winning… an experience that makes you forget about anything other than what you are hearing at that moment and that moment alone…

hear it live, my friend… hear it live. Go to a concert. I guarantee you will not regret a second of it.
