Describe the type of music that you like. You should say:
– Why you enjoy listening to this type of music.
– The times or places when you listen to this type of music.
– Your feelings about music in general and say whether you prefer live or recorded music.
“My taste in music is quite versatile and there isn’t really one style of music that I like. I listen to everything from popular music to classical music.
Music plays a very important role in my life, and I listen to it almost constantly. I find that it helps to set or to change a mood. So I tend to choose my music according to who I’m with or what I’m doing.
For example, if I’m driving long distances in my car I prefer to play something stimulating to help me stay awake, but if I’m having a dinner party with friends then I play something more relaxing. I think that music helps to inspire me when I’m working, although my colleagues find it distracting so I tend to listen with headphones on. In that way I can escape into my own little world.
When I was younger I would definitely have said that I preferred live music. The atmosphere in a live concert can be electric . Nowadays, though, a lot of popular groups only perform at a very large venues in front of audiences of 20,000 or more and I don’t really like that. I prefer the intimacy of listening to recorded music, and the sound quality is better as well.
Music really enriches our lives – it can turn a monotonous period of time into a magical experience. So I think it’s essential to have music and, in fact, all of the arts in your life.”
