THis is kind-of a new topic, but it goes along with the current one. WHEN YOU PHOTOREAD, IS IT HELPFUL TO LISTEN TO MUSIC TO KEEP YOUR CONSCIOUS MIND OCCUPIED? Thanks.

They're all right but I prefer more challenging lyricism than they provide. Common, GangStarr, Pete Rock & CL Smooth, DJ Shadow/Quannum & Solesides, Aesop Rock, Divine Styler, Outsidaz (Eminem's old crew), and Del have similar style to Native Tongues but the level of mcing is much better and the music is more well thought out, especially with Pete Rock, JayDee, Premier, and Shadow. Shadow especially is a genius.

I absolutely love music! I love vocalists. In all forms. Avant, Whitney Houston, Frank Sinatra, Boys II Men, Stevie Wonder... too many to name. I love clear music. Kathleen Battle, Bach, Beethoven, Canadian Brass Choir(A Fellow Brass Player; Trumpet), Wynton Marsalis, selected pieces from Sarah Brightman, Andre Bocelli... too many to name. I do not like noise and loud raucus music. Not a fan of the guitar. No country, rock or other related genre's. With a few exceptions. Thunder Rolls by Garth Brooks and Fancy by Reba. I love Gospel and Acapella. John P. Kee, Shirley Caeser, Take Six, Sweet Honey on the Rock... too many to name. I guess the reason I cannot get into rock, country, pop, punk or whatnot is uncertain. But I have liked a couple of songs for there music but not there lyrics. Sex and Candy, Tears from Jupiter, Virtual Insanity, Arms Wide Open, another Creed song, a Green Day song from like 1998-99 ish... a couple of others that I forgot the names or artists of. Finally, in a class all by his self, I love, absolutely adore Michael Jackson. All of his songs.

I'm a former violinist and my best friend is a concert violinist in a family of professional cellists. Love the sound of the violin, it's the most expressive instrument by far after the human voice. I was at the level where I could play Sibelius, Brahms, Tchaikovsky, Mendelssohn, Prokofiev 1st, Shostakovitch A Minor concerti and all of Bach's Sonatas and Partitas from memory so i like to think I was pretty good 
I love a story I heard once at a seminar about a boy who was came from a poor family and did mediocre in school. He wanted to do better, but for whatever reason, couldn't get motivated to do better. He wanted to do better so he could please his dad, but felt like he was in a conundrum. One day he watched the paper boy come by to deliver the paper. He remembered that the paper boy's family was not rich, but instead was much like his own. Yet all the kids in the paper boy's family did well in school. The boy wanted to find out why this was, so he asked the paper boy if he could go over to his house for a meal. He and the paper boy became friends. The boy noticed that after the meal all of the kids rushed to get out their instruments to play together. He thought that this was the only difference between himself and the paper boy. The boy asked his father to buy him a violin. The paper boy taught him to play. They'd spend hours playing together. After a while the teacher called the boy's father in and told him of his sons remarkable progress in school. The boy had actually received some recognition for academic progress. The teacher asked what he'd done. The father said, "Well nothing... except I did buy him a violin..." quote:

The Einstein Factor actually claims that when some people listened to Mozart for a while, their IQ points went up temporarily. Interesting I guess.
I find from experience that the smartest musicians and smartest people in general listen to Bach, not Mozart. Mozart's music is so well laid out it's unreal but for true musical genius you have to go with the master and that's Johann Sebastian Bach. Stunning musical mind! Rivalled only by Webern and maybe Bartok, but much more fun to listen to than either  [/B]
I recently found a collection of Bach's paritas and sonatas played by Sigiswald Kuijken. They are incredible. I think I totally agree about the superiority of Bach. I've only begun to play, actually less than a year ago. I really love it. It's very expressive. I hope to play in some amateur ensembles as I improve. x, thanks for your comments. You've given me/us much to think about.
