Do You Listen To Music While You Work?

© Norine Peardon, June, 2009

Finding music which can be tolerated while you work on your computer is a tough task! Your media player is not very accomodating in this respect. The available genre’s, I have experienced, are not compatible with sitting at your computer while you are answering emails, developing websites or writing for ezines.

My search for tolerable music led me to classical. The problem with classical is that some of it tends to put me to sleep. I needed something that would allow me to be alert.

One day, I tried typing in the genre box of my Media Player ll, “classical piano.” Only a few stations were available, but I clicked on Boston Pete.com. I discovered this station plays classical piano music but also orchestral by the great composers of all time.

In the next timeframe as I listened, I opened a text editor and started making notes about the music I was hearing. The result was an outline of my favorite songs and performers of those songs.

Preferred performers were Richard Clayderman and Fiona Joy Hawkins, both pianists. I found I could be on my computer anytime of night or day and really accomplish a lot of work when listening to their selections.

Richard Clayderman is a pianist and hails from the UK. He plays the old classical standards with a style all of his own. My music knowledge reveals that he does not always play a selection as the composer intended. Perhaps, this is why his style appeals to me. Richard has so much music available, there is something that should interest anyone who likes to listen to great music. Richard is generally accompanied by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.

Fiona Joy Hawkins is also a choice pianist. Her style and choice of composers is quite different from Richard Clayderman’s style. I believe the composers she plays selections from, may be a little more modern. I don’t hear Beethoven, Bach or Schubert selections. Her music and interpretation are very interesting and will keep your interest. Fiona’s country of origin is Australia.

Make life a little easier on yourself and find some great music to listen to while you concentrate on your computer work. Break the monotony of TV you are not paying attention to or listening to music which sends you reeling off your chair and prohibiting completion of your computer tasks. Read More . . . . .
