I didn't grow up with classical music. My father was a folk music singer.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I was born out of classical music.
My father knew classical music very well. Driving in the car, listening to the radio, he could name every composer, every movement, what piece it was. I was fascinated by the way he recognized who wrote what.
My parents loved classical music. And my father adored Mozart. But for some reason, I always had a reaction against it.
I had 12 years of classical music as a child, playing piano competitions as a teenager, playing in blues bands and rock 'n' roll bands, country and jazz bands. I played in about any situation.
Classical music requires an immense amount of concentration, and I don't know if I would've been that committed to that particular life.
Actually, I've had very little classical training, although I love listening to classical music very much.
In a way, I'm lucky that I was never classically trained and never went to a music college. I'm just from a normal working class family and happened to get obsessed with music as a teenager.
I grew up playing classical piano and percussion.
I played classical as a kid.
My father was a classical musician and my mother was a writer.
