Elizabeth Almonte HUM 104-Music Appreciation Professor: Barci Classical music in my opinion is very calm and soft‚ a type of music that to others can be very boring and would just put them to sleep.

My music allows me to disappear and become part of a body that dances to the same rhythm; while at the same time makes me an individual in the midst of rhythms that don’t tickle my fancy.

All through history it’s been discovered that people have always
