Reply #11: I guess I started getting into classical music when I was in High School..

Now I like all kinds of music (rock, jazz, classical etc) but I just became bored with the late 90's pop music and was looking for something with a little substance.

I suppose it was my junior year and I stumbled across my local classical station and was hooked. I took a class my senior year called "Development of Music" I think there were about 6 people total in it. All we did was listen to the classics and occasionally do some writing about them. It was there that I learned about the different composers and styles, it was the easiest and most enjoyable A I have ever gotten.

Since then I listen to classical music all the time especially when I am doing work. I get made fun of some times by family members and friends for my musical choices but since when do I care what they think about me! I'm just sad that I don't have more friends who like classical music because I love seeing live performances but I have no one to go with. Next semester I am taking a music appreciation course as a Gen Ed and I'm so excited!!!
