Hello everyone. This is the first of a series im going to start called How to listen to music
Now then. We all listen to music everyday. Whether it be cleaning the house, or driving around town or before you sleep at night. But are we actually listening to it? I mean really listening and experiencing it?
Ok, Here we go. I would recommend you start by finding somewhere to listen. Like a comfy cosy spot perhaps that you sit in to watch TV or where you usually spend free time. Get a hot cup of tea(or coffee if thats what your into) and get relaxed. Youll be amazed at how much you like it.
Next, pick out a CD. The reason im saying CD, is because they are (usually)arranged in such a way to be one cohesive movement. If you get a mixtape of your favorite songs, there wont be any flow or 'theme' if you will. Try to find something new, that you have never heard before. Or maybe something you havent heard in a while.
No music is inherently superior to any other. Listen to whatever you like. The value of music is what it feels like, and this is something you alone experience.
One last tip for lesson one - Stick with it!
If you skip a song, even if you genuinely just dont like it, your missing out. Try to listen for nuances you didnt hear before.
