Billy Elliot the Musical On November 2‚ 2010 I attended the Broadway show “Billy Elliot the Musical” at the Durham Performing Arts Center.

Playing Musical Instruments The Chinese philosopher Confucius said long ago that “Music produces a kind of pleasure which human nature cannot do without.” Being able to play any musical instrument is extremely satisfying. This includes everyone from the person who has mastered her instrument right down to the beginner who knows only a few chords. I personally believe that if there’s one thing you should learn in your lifetime‚ it’s how to play an instrument. Learning to play a musical instrument
