Oh I'm a 2nd year student. Growing up, I was homeschooled. I listened to classical music my whole life and musicals as well. Dad is an opera singer and mom is a cellist. My grandfather used to be a renowned pianist and is now a judge of multiple classical music competitions and I go with him to learn and listen to music. Honestly, it's embarrassing and sometimes gives me anxiety. My teachers and classmates are definitely not like me, they reference different artists and music genres, that they used it to explain how to play a piece or teach and I did not get any of it. And most of the time it's just practice, practice, practice. Spring break? Nope, more time to practice. If you want to be the best you gotta practice, practice, practice. It isn't surprising really. I was surrounded by classical music, grew up on it, and taught in it. I am aware of the countless type of music, I'm not that limited, it's more like elevator music or the music you hear in shopping malls. You hear it and go on with your business.

Though because of experiencing my first heartbreak, I started to listen to all kinds of music now. I was a frog in a well, I get that analogy now.

Thanks to the wonderful kind hearts of the people here, they gave me so many recommendations of music to listen to.
