What is the Good music?

Classical music is the most excellent genre in history and there is no argument about that. But, it is not popular to younger generation these days. As I anticipate, after 50 years, the classical music will be a antique even if that is worthy once upon a time. Young people don't like to spend money to buy a ochestra or opera ticket nowadays. Even they don't like spend any money to buy a music. If so, how can we keep the value of classical music as a current, active art?

A great player in classical music never made in a day. It takes much more time to play a classical music. However, hook song can be made with no speciallity because that song is comprised with some melody line and with little kind of musical instrument.

So, accesibility is the main point, in my opinion. All kind of technology tries to simplifying. Music is not an exception. If so, do the classical music have to compromise to popularity? I think not. But for continue the value of classical music, we need to change the perception regarding classical music is the best.

Psy's Gangnam style hits 1,846,501,859 until now. How about the hits of classical music?


I have many friend who is major in classical music such as piano, composing, violin and etc. But the problem is, they regard the classical music is absolutely best, so they don't like listen to the other genres such as Jazz and Blues. They told me Classical music professor teaches them usually.In some part, that is true. It takes huge amount of time and it is not accessible to reach some point without special music talent. But this trend and perception makes classical music as "their's"


Who will buy the ticket? Who will buy the recordings?
My older sister majored in Jazz Piano in top-ranked university in Korea, and she practices classical music. She doesn't think Jazz is the only best music but her play skill is excellent. Openness is the key.
