Lately I have been trying some new music. The music it self is not new and I have heard it before so I guess a more correct phrase would be I have rediscovered some music. I found a jazz station that I am really loving. It is a nice break from the Christmas music on every other station. The jazz still sounds holiday-ish but I don't have to listen to the somewhat repetitive lyrics.
Next term I am taking Music Appreciation which should be pretty basic music stuff I already know but it sure beats other art credits that I could have taken. My book arrived yesterday and I became completely engrossed in a chapter about Frederic Chopin. If you don't know who he is, Google him. This book also came with a few CDs, so being the overachieving student I am (Ha!) I put it in and let my ears feast away. Chopin's piano playing ability rocked my socks off. That was some great stuff. So great that it is currently on repeat as I blog.
Long story short, music is an integral part of our every day lives and has the power infects us. So, take sometime to enjoy music. Don't just hear it, but truly listen.
