Music class last entry!

Importance of music in everybodies life shoud be emphasized more. I was really happy to get the opportrunity to learn something more about music, with a much mature mind, than what I learned in primary school. With a more mature approach, I found it very interesting and special, to learn all the interesting episodes of music history.

Thanks G!

Music in films

I have just seen the Sherlock Holmes movie, made by Guy Ritchie and I have to say the film's music is exceptional. Composed by Hans Zimmer, it is no wonder how it works out perfectly.

I really enjoy Tom and Jerry with all the music under it.
It's really fantastic how it is done.
