We all have our daily routines, though sometimes things happen that pull us out of them. Hopefully, those moments that break our routines also serve as valuable learning experiences.

"Is that even music?" This is a question many people often ask when the most popular or trendy genres are playing everywhere—to the point where they seem to leave listeners feeling indifferent or numb. There is always a tendency to compare new musical trends against what came before; musical genres of all kinds have always existed. Nowadays, we often see the fusion of several genres into one—a combination that some people find quite enjoyable.

Some people demonize certain genres. Throughout history, various styles have become trendy—rock 'n' roll, for example, was once demonized, not just for its lyrics, but also for the way people moved their bodies to it and the sound produced by the musical equipment used. The subject of music is truly fascinating.

I enjoy all kinds of music—salsa, for instance—but I’ve also found that, lately, I’ve grown quite fond of violin and orchestral music; they are deeply relaxing and truly uplift me.
