As an offspring of a family of musicians, I have always loved music. I can play the guitar, piano and violin. When I was a kid, my mother enrolled me to cl***** that she believed will enhance my talent and skills. She made sure that I will learn how to play not just one instrument. I had spent almost all of my summer in music cl***** but I enjoyed it anyway. Just like my grandfather who is a well-known pianist, I also want to become a famous musician someday.

When I was younger, I liked pop music very much. Just like every girl of my generation, I also fell in love with the songs of N' Sync. I sang the songs of the boyband Westlife. And I danced to the music of the Spice Girls and Atomic Kittens.

While I was growing up, I was exposed to different genres of music but my mind was then closed. It was the time when I was sent to live with my Aunt in Toronto, where I was finishing a degree in Music, that I learned to appreciate other genres of music.

My older cousin whose room is just beside mine always plays rock and alternative music. I always wake up to loud bangs of instruments and screams from his stereo. At first, I hated these kinds of music because of their unusual loudness but because I always hear such music, I got a chance to listen to what the artists are trying to say. I realized that these music are more expressive than any other genres. I eventually got addicted to alternative music and collected CDs of popular alternative bands.

Just like most of music lovers, I use music as a therapy. I listen to my favorite songs when I am bored at home or whenever I am cleaning my room to lighten up the mood. I also listen to music to stay awake whenever I am doing my research papers .
