OT OT Classical Music.

 Are you one of those who switch off at the words 'Classical Music'?

If so, is it because you have been 'frightened off' by :-

A) It's too 'posh'?
B) You don't understand it?
C) 'Too much like the sound of someone killing a cat'?

Would you like to 'get into Classical Music' if you were introduced to it in
a gentle and understanding way?

Why this silly posting?

I like Classical Music and 'understand it and enjoy it' without being able
to read music or play an instrument and have been offered a slot on a radio
station, to introduce Classical Music to those who would like to understand
it, but have the preconceived ideas of A, B or C.

I would welcome your comments.

Mike

I wonder what you mean by classical music. Most people seem to think
it's the Eric Robinson, easy-listening, music-down-the-middle, kind of
music.

As a music graduate, and an ex-teacher of students up to university
level (and currently a music examiner) I can probably give you some help
in "understanding" it. You may need it! ;-)

Thank you David.

I have been emailed and told I have used the wrong word. Not
'understanding', but 'Introduction and Appreciation'.

Is that better David?

No, not really. Remember what Sir Thomas Beecham said, "The British
don't understand music, they just like the noise it makes."

""> No, not really. ""

That's all right David, I don't expect any of the Clique to agree with me.

Kindest possible regards
