Love, Laugh, Listen

Music is amazing. There is an enormous number of genres: Metal, Pop, Country, Latin, etc. Each person has their own individual set of musical likes and dislikes. Personally, I tend to listen to most rock genres: Metal, Alternative, etc. I admire those people that can listen to almost everything, they can just scan through the radio stations ^.^ Music goes almost as far back as humanity itself. The instruments may have changed but the idea of music bringing joy or carrying a message within the notes is the same.

My first introduction to music was when I had piano lessons in about 3rd grade. I will always enjoy that I learned how to read music there. I have since then lost any bit of skill that I may have had and I'd love to learn again someday, but this time keep it up. I was in band for 6th-8th grade; I played the clarinet. That was fun, but I didn't have the motivation to continue on to high school band, mostly because I just don't think I'd enjoy it as a class. 

I love music and how different it can be, but still be the same. Music is something that nobody can really take from you and I love trying to find the meaning and see the hard work that the artist put into the notes and rhythms.
