Learning to Love Music

One of the best ways to learn more about music is just to sit and enjoy it.  The violins sing their airy tune; the violas meld in with perfect harmony, while the cellos resound a handsome rhythm  to complete the entire experience.  Is it possible just to sit down and enjoy something like this when all you've developed an appetite for is the sounds of the modern day?  

Time honored and time tested music also takes time to learn to appreciate.  Generally, it is a happy music to your soul, and you and your children will soon be humming those tunes that were once foreign to their ears.  
The other day, we were listening to NPR, and the "Arrival of the Queen of Sheba"by George Frederick Handel was to be the next piece up.  You could feel the energy in the car change as we anticipated one of favorites.   Can you believe that we didn't even know that song the year before?  
Somehow, somewhere we just learned to sit back and enjoy that song.  Click on the links and tell me if you don't love that song also..  Doesn't it just make you happy?
