Do you love the song that you are playing or the instrument when you study a song? Sincerly, I love the song...if the song sucks I can't study, but if the song is beautiful I willstudy for hours the song! My teacher says that somebody loves the instruments, so everything you will give them, they will do with passion! It's that possible?

whenever im listening in any kind of music i enjoy the beat of the song first before i study the lyrics and the whole song itself.if its soothing for my ears i easily get interested in the song but i dont like its beat then i wont be interested on it.musician really put their emotions in their music which makes every song very unique true itself.

as a classical pianist i really try and dig deep into a piece to see what the composer is trying to get across to the listener. i feel that if i'm not just hitting buttons and just hitting right notes that i don't interpret the inner meaning of the piece right. so yes i love the song more than anything

I'd have to say definately the instrument. For me that would be the guitar and then the keyboard. It means I can play and sing my favourite music. I couldn't imagine not being able to pick up my guitar and not play it. I love being able to play my my guitar when I hear music I like, but I can't knock the stuff I find boring they only make my ability better.

For me, it depends on the song. If I really like the song, I can master it on piano for less than an hour. but if my friends requested me to play their favourite song (which is not my favourite) I will take until one day to actually get to play the song. Well, I still can play it in a short time, but it will be meaningless because as a player itself you know that you don't put your heart in the song, and even though people think that it's good, but for you it's just...the song is not alive because you don't play it wholeheartedly.
