I have listened to classical music most of my life, usually for many hours a day. I play piano, organ, some classical guitar and recorder, and I sing. I studied piano and organ in college. I am familiar with different composers and styles of classical music, and different eras, as well as the music theory behind the different types of classical music, such as baroque, romantic, impressionistic, neo-romantic, and other styles.
