Do you play any musical instrument? Which one? Why?

Today our friends are in music class. Ms Wellington is trying to introduce them to the topic, and to teach them some interesting things.

Ms W: Ok, does anybody play any instrument there?

Laura: Yes, I play the piano

Ms W: and why do you like playing the piano, Laura?

Laura: Well, at the beginning my parents just enrolled me in piano classes. Now I love piano. When I’m feeling sad or depressed, playing always cheer me up a little. Now I’m thinking of making my own band and play jazz.

Ms. W: and what kind of music do you guys like?

Joyce: I like rock music

Tom: I like hip hop

Ms. W: and what do you feel when you listen to your favourite music?

Tom:That’s very difficult to explain Ms. Wellington. But when I listen to the music I like it. I usually feel good, active. I think that nothing can stop me in that moment.

Laura: all your problems seem to disappear. You are happy.

Ms. W: That’s right my dear students. Music is part of us, part of what we are. When we are through bad times, it help us to see the brighter side of things
