Listening to classical music is relaxing, like the Trumpet Concerto featured below.
Classical music does not just put one to sleep as some might think it does, but it makes workout better due to increased productivity and motivation. Here’s why.
There are times though that I prefer to work with noisy, upbeat music though.

Perhaps people do not know how music and math go together?
The composition of music has the elements of counting, measuring, rhythm, metering, ordering and repetition among other things. The tuning systems and details like frequency, consonances, set theories, timing and a host of other things that make music pleasurable to listen to are all connected to numbers and yes, math.
My son is the only one in the family who has the gift of understanding numbers. But that because I know he has that gift, this won’t have me rushing to buy musical instruments, getting a Bbe at musicians friends and enrolling him in music lessons. Why? He is not that interested in learning how to play musical instruments. I know if he puts his heart in it, understanding music and its complications would be easy for him.

As a mom, one of the things I want to do with my children is to listen to what kind of music they love to listen to, as such they are “forced” to listen to the kind of music that the hubby and I listen to. They have that choice to plug in their earphones but they definitely can’t go with these the whole day.
The hubby and the girls can play musical instruments.
We usually have music playing in the house. The hubby is also thinking of getting a pro tools hd for his keyboards.
He used to have a software for this keyboard but after a few changes in computer hardware I don’t think he was able to retain the said software.
Perhaps this is perfect Christmas gift for him.

Do you like listening to live bands?
Or would you rather listen to radio versions where digital mixers (mixer musicians friend) were used to make the song more appealing and “clean”?
For me, I prefer to listen to new and unfamiliar songs via radio versions before I hear these live. Why? So that I am able to appreciate the song better. Listening to an unfamiliar song live, I won’t be able to appreciate what the song is all about. I love listening to live songs too, especially if I am there personally 😀
But this is just me. What about you? Do you prefer to listen to live versions or radio versions?
