I have a professional musician child so there was a lot of music going on in my house. I also had a sax player and trombone player. the professional musician is a percussionist which includes piano, which is a percussion instrument.

@Kachina624 you would love Nova Scotia. Lots of Celtic music here.

I love all kinds of music including classical!

@Sooner Handel's Thanks be to Thee is my favorite classical piece.

Check out Don Williams' version of Louisiana Saturday Night for some great fiddle playin' and rockabilly.

Yes, WFMT, the classical music station in Chicago is all I listen to. When I was a teenager/20s, I listened to rock and roll. Then listen to country western music. I have now switched to classical which I find so soothing and relaxing.

Favorites Mendelssohn, Beethoven and Tchaikovsky.

Years ago there was a TV commercial with British actor John Williams that advertised classical music albums. This ad ran for years. The first song in the commercial was Borodin's Polovtsian Dance Number 2. Haha, fun. You can view it on youtube.

When I was a kid, since my dad favored opera, that was all I ever heard. Eventually I was able to discern different artists. Wonderful sounds to live with.

It's a toss up between Classical (1750-1820) and Baroque (1600-1750). It's from all those piano lessons from decades ago. And me, too, having lived (and liked) the rock & roll craze.

This is what I teach today. Dates are always on the tests.

@Nonametoday How wonderful! What a treat to have--although my parents didn't seem thrilled with scales and an obsession of playing as fast and error free as one can.

I played alto sax in high school and that was fun!!! My husband wanted badly to play trombone in high school he tells me, but he is a very tall guy and guess what he got stuck with? Sousaphone for marching!

I am a huge fan of Vivaldi's Four Seasons...all of it.

I can' t listen to it in my car, though. It makes me drive too fast. I get so lost in the music.

My son plays classical guitar...like that too.

@Carmie I love that music too! Have you seen the old old movie The Four Seasons? Alan Alda and Carol Burnett and others. It is one of my all-time favorite movies!

Husband plays classical guitar but his forte is electric and he was in a rock and roll band with professional musicians. Not as good as the lead, but he can sing and kept up with the guitar playing! It really was a stretch sometimes though, but good for him!
