Music in Our Life

I love music. I think people can not live without music. The thing I do in the morning I switch on my tape-recorder. We can hear music everywhere. I think it’s really doesn’t matter what kind of music you prefer: rock, pop, classical, jazz. A lot of people are fond of music.

They buy tapes, go to the concerts, and visit Concert Halls and Opera Theatres. I enjoy listening to music because it reflects my moods and emotions. Very often when I’m blue, I play my favorite merry songs and feel much better. Sometimes I attend music halls and the concerts, when popular groups and singers are there. I like watching music programs on TV. I’d like to know more and more about popular talented groups and singers I like. One of the walls of my room is covered with posters of Bon Jovi, Scorpions, Roxette, Russian singers Agutin, Sjutkin, Linda and others.

Some people go to musical schools; they play different musical instruments, sing in the chorus and try to compose music.

Unfortunately there are so many ungifted singers on the stages that it makes me sad. To have a good producer doesn’t mean to have good ears and voice. I think that only talented people can claim to be singers.
