What I Think about Music

Of all noises, I think music is the least disagreeable.

- Samuel Johnson

I like it!

Music, my favourite page. This is probably a good thing as I am studying to be a musician (as well as studying 3D digital design), and I play guitar. If you'd like to hear me play, press this button:

However, I mainly play classical guitar. If you'd like to hear me play something classical (warning: the mp3 file is about 1 meg!) then click here. And for an essay I wrote on how to buy a classical guitar, click here. (I've only bought one, but this is the way it seemed to me.)

(Note: The above recordings were made almost three years ago. I believe I have improved quite a bit since then and will make more recordings to replace those eventually. Unfortunately, I don't like microphones very much and I gave my micer to one of my guitar instructors, so it may be a while.)

I also compose a little. Here's a midi file of a piece I wrote:

The artists that I like (some classical some not) are (not in any particular order):

	"Weird Al" Yankovic
	(if they had any albums out) My guitar teachers, Andrew Edwards (in NZ) and Mike Jarrette-Kenny (in NJ)
	Seth Austin
	David Wilcox
	J S Bach
	Wolfgang Mozart
	Ludwig von Beethoven
	Fernando Sor
	Isaac Albeniz
	Matteo Carcassi
	Francisco Tárrega
	Heitor Villa-Lobos
	Leo Brouwer
	Pink Floyd

I may think of more later.

In my opinion, music is very important: it can effect our mood, our feelings, at times our opinions. It also, when truely listened to, stimulates the brain.
