Dickens, Homer, Hurston, Miller, Orwell, Steinbeck, Wilder to name a few. Make me read a book in class, and I won't like it. Music Music is one of the most amazing gifts we've been given. Once you've learned one instrument, the rest are much easier to handle. I recommend piano to start.
Piano is a great instrument to learn music fundamentals on.
Now I'd like to play guitar. Everyone is familiar with Mozart, Beethoven, Wagner, Bach, and others whether they like to admit it or not. I love listening to orchestras and bands. Even if they are a teensy bit long. I love Oldies as well.
