1. By Emily & Victoria

2. I am Emily. I like to listen to music, sing a song and go to the singing room. I like all kind of music but my favorite genre is dance and R&B. Both dance and R&B is very attractive genre, so I can’t choose only one thing of two genres. When I listen to dance music, I am excited and delightful. So when I am depressed and sad, I listen to dance music and hum a song. R&B is different from dance music. The word “R&B” means rhythm and blues. R&B always makes me sentimental.

3. So when I want to set my mind at rest, I always listen to R&B music. When I am a 6 years old, I started to learn piano. My parents bought the piano for my 7 th birthday present. Since then, I always played the piano and my parents sang a song every Sunday morning. Now I don’t learn piano and play every Sunday morning. But my family always lives with music because my two younger brothers play the guitar everyday. My family loves music. This is reason why I love music. I sometimes buy some music CDs. I like to collect CD of my favori- te singer. I also listen to the FM radio, especially 95.9 MHz at midn- ight. It is good broadcasting to listen to music.

4. I am a student in Hanyang University at Ansan at Science & Technology. My heigh very small. But I do my best in everything as the smaller, the shrewder. I like classic music. I like a musical instrument. But I can't play on it. So I have appreciation of listening to music for the sake of playing on instrument. Especially I like opera in classic. Opera has melody and libretto in aria, there is no boring. My favorite aria is "largo" in George Frideric handel's opera Xerxes. When I listen to it, My heart very peaceful and relax. It is "Lascia ch'io pianga" that another favorite Handel's famous aria in Rinaldo. I always move its plaintive melody. Opera Iibretto is very lyric like expression of poem. So I like it. As I like classic, I usually listen to music dam and peaceful like R&B and Ballad.

7. Michael Learns To Rock “Michael Learns To Rock“ means Michael who learns rock. This group comes from Denmark. In general, we remind modern an hard rock sound which combine with spearhead technology, but rock world of MLTR represents beautiful melody and sweet harmony. I knew this group and was interested in music of them because of "25minutes" song. This song has sad story.

8. A man who realized value of her finally was ready to say to her "I love you". But she had already married someone else. She said to him "You late 25 minutes" with crying. Songs of this group have very familiar and comfortable melody. If you listened song of them one time you never forget.

9. Richard Max Richard Max is known as a "King Of The Ballad" to Korea fans, but his first style of music was "Rock And Roll". His first hit song "Don't mean nothing“ is not strong but also rock and roll sound that is leaded by electronic guitar and drum beat. But his music slowly change its genre from rock n roll to ballad after he started making beautiful ballad songs toward his dear wife.

10. I like the song "Now and forever“ most. It's the most hited song in Billboard chart. He made it for his wife. Not only this song, but most of his song is made for his wife to deliver his love to her. A lyric of this song is so great just like a poem. Another ballad song that I like is "Right here waiting". He made this song extemporaneously to hear his wife when they are far away. These two song are most loved song through the world. Maybe there is no one who doesn't know this song though he doesn't know Richard Max. When I hear Richard Max's song that have beautiful lyrics and melody with his lyrical voice, I feel good cause I can feel happiness of love.
