What Music Are You Listening to Now?


What kind of music are you listening to at the moment?

Music is energy and definitely can change how you feel or think. When I'm in the car and stuck in traffic, I like to listen to oldies or classical music to lighten my mood... or when I'm writing I throw in some high energy music.

I've always been into music. My parents made me play the piano when I was younger - plus I played the flute, sax, and clarinet as well.

Wow -- you are talented musically, Maria -- do you still play any of these. Bet that's why you post so many smart ideas:-) -- just like the research says. I am opposite ... as I like a calmer music to write and more upbeat if the traffic jams me in:-)

I have always enjoyed listening to and playing music. It seems like I almost have to have it in the background to do anything. I like all types of music as long as it's good. My favorite music to listen to while I study believe it or not is Heavy Metal. I can't blast it full volume, but I do study better with it on.

Cheryl, thanks for stopping by, because it was fun to look at the way you use music. While heavy metal might make me run or at least get up and move -- my Mozart might put you to sleep:-) it's fun to have those choices that work best for the way our minds are wired.
