How musical are we?

What do you do to relax? Do you like watching TV? Do you like reading books? Or do you enjoy listening to music? How many of us actually play a musical instrument? How important is music in our lives? What kind of music do we like?

The survey shows the musical habits of a few of our readers. Interestingly, fourteen people out of the twenty actually play a musical instrument, while only six don't. Out of these, ten people practise their musical instrument between 0-3 hours a week and the other four between three and six hours a week.

The best instrument to play is the guitar; eight people say it is their favourite instrument to play. Another four people enjoy playing the piano and two like playing the violin. Two people, however, don't play the violin or the piano as they think they are too difficult.

Pop concerts are always popular but, in this survey, only eight people say they are fond of going to concerts -- six to pop concerts and two to jazz concerts.

A higher number, eighteen, say they enjoy listening to music as they find it relaxing. Only two people don’t like listening to music at all. These results suggest that we are more actively musical than we think…
