When I work or when I write, I enjoy listening to music to create a specific atmosphere or mood. One of my favorite types of music is classical. I’ve noticed classically trained musicians are now playing traditional songs like Jingle Bells, Ave Maria, and Moonlight Sonata as orchestral songs or songs with heavier drum beats. Also, violinists playing classical songs with the electric violin to modern beats while dancing. It’s not enough to just play music as a musician – you need to be able to dance and perform too!
What do you think about performing to music?

I too love music. It’s so productive that it helps cows yield more milk, while listening to music.

I think I saw a video about cows listening to music. I also saw a video about VR goggles being used on cows to reduce stress and increase milk yield (because the cows think they are in a pasture).

Hi, I used to play classical piano, but I quit at 20. I lost my interest.
I like Zen (meditation) music. 😌🎵 Am I tired…? 😅

I stopped playing piano and miss it. What meditation music do you recommend? Is there a channel?

Hi, I am sorry for the late reply. 🙏 I have been busy… I returned to Florida last week.
Yes, well, I like all genres of music. I usually listen to classical, meditation, pop, and techno music. 🎵
Some examples: Classical-Four Seasons by Vivaldi and Spring Waltz by Chopin, Meditation-Tibetan Healing and Reiki, Pop-Oneus, TWS (both South Korean groups), and Ayumi Hamasaki (Japanese singer), Techno-Night of Fire (Eurobeat) and YMO (Japanese group, and one member passed away in 2023). 😊

Music is very physical. I watch a lot of concerts. Not just Lady Gaga shakes it, although she shakes it well. Think of Prince. Wanna go back even more? Keith Moon. I lose two pounds myself every time I watch Jimmy Page’s guitar solo for In My Time of Dying on the Led Zeppelin DVD. I love it.

Lady Gaga and Prince are music legends. Also like Led Zeppelin Stairway to Heaven and Kashmir.
