  I have to admit I don’t listen to classical music- I would rather listen to something else. In the same sense, I admire the complexity and skill behind classical music. I actually wouldn’t mind learning some classical guitar sometime- I find that amazing and funky. I remember seeing this busker one day in the Sydney mall and he blew my mind away with how fast and technical he was.

  I don’t listen to it that much, but I do find some of it very pleasant and relaxing. My university is right next to the Albert Hall so I go to the proms occasionally (when I look out the window + see the queue is not too big!).

  I like it a lot when I’m studying as it helps me concentrate and I also like the ballet so I listen to a lot of ballets and see a lot of shows too.
  
  But for general background music in the car and on the MP3 player its more the classic rock variety!

  Depending on my mood, it can help me study but not always as sometimes I have found that dance music helps me to concentrate – quite different from one another! But I do also enjoy listening to classical music when I’m not studying too, but that goes for all the other types of music I like too.

  The only bit I really like or know is the piece that’s used in the film Die Hard, it’s by Beethoven, but that’s pretty much all I know about classical music.
