classical music, wow. I hear it like music to the high degree. not carelessly let alone one who can enjoy the fact I was a student who is always waiting for shipments of money each month from the village. classical music actually can exist among the people of Indonesia. as well as jazz. I used to think only certain people can enjoy it. but now the people of Indonesia can enjoy jazz music without having to try to force them to like it. jazz music evolved with the number of Indonesian singers who take this flow. and with a little cheap tickets a jazz concert. music lovers can enjoy the satisfaction. what about classical music, which had since been entered in the world of Indonesian music. but his impression was like music to the moneyed. evidenced by the high cost of tickets a classical music concert, if this continues. how classical music can be accepted ears of the people of Indonesia?

Thats riddiculous no. People might enjoy because its their taste in music. Because they like it. Jazz music's good when done properly. I heard lots of jazz music in New Orleans when i went, before it got hit by katrina. It didn't evolve in Indonesia...

I believe that classical music can be enjoyed by anyone. This category of music is not only reserved for the wealthy. Classical music takes appreciation. Sometimes the weslthy show their appreciation for classical music easier than those less fortunate.

Dear friend, I do not feel so, now those who have interest in it can attain it. Still to get upper one may need some money. May be there where time when only some people were allowed for learning it. But now situation has changed, if one is capable there are people who are willing to sponsor such talents.

Actually everybody can listen to music, be it classical, jazz which is also my favorite, pop etc. Last time, it has been seen, and it gave people the wrong impression that classical music is reserved for the rich as we often see in TVs, hear it in expensive restaurants so on and so forth. So alright, music is a form of art and if we listen to it for long, we will get to like it more and more.

Maybe I could say, though I'm not living in Indonesia, classical music has lot o instrument needed and expertise. Unlike jazz, it is easier to practice and study. The reason why classical musician has to ask much payment than that of jazz is because they exerted much effort to really master the perfectness of sound and the harmony that will make the listeners say "It is, indeed, is what we classical music."
