What Type of Music Soothes Your Soul?

Tweet

Being a voice and piano professor for over 26 years, i had quite an exposure to many types of music. I love jazz though, i seem to have a preference to music of the 80s. Artists i love to listen to are Seawind, Angela Bofil Patti Austin, Sergio Mendes, Marilyn Scott,Manhattan Transfer, also branching out to wonderful people like David Benoit, Dave Grusin, Eumir Deodate, Chuck Mangione, David Foster....Early Klugh,Caldera, George Duke, and the younger generation that included Basia and many many others. But i also loved pop, Whitney Houston was my favorite singer, and Barbra Streisand....Gloria Estefan too. Then broadway musicals gave me a different experience. I loved Ms Saigon, Les Miserables, Sound of Music, King and I, Fiddler on the Roof, Oliver, Phantom of the Opera.....just can't seem to get enough of it! My students learned to express themselves so well thru music, and this helped develop their self confidence. For me, music that soothes the soul, would be music we could relate to, regardless of era. Doesnt matter if it's a nursery rhyme or just a part of a love song, anything that touches you deep within, brings back good or sad memories, makes you shed a tear or makes you laugh, makes you feel that life is worth living over and over again....that type of music is worth listening to......
