What kind of music did you hear around your home growing up?

B Natural answer

At home, I heard a mix of sounds. My mother loved soft classical music in the morning, and she said it helped her start the day calmly. Later, my older brother would put on local folk songs after school, so the mood changed from quiet to lively very quickly. In the evening, the family often listened to the radio in the kitchen while we ate dinner. I think that mix gave me an easy way to enjoy different styles, because music was just part of normal family life.
