Making music: I started learning the violin when I was 6, and stopped at 18 when I left home (couldn't afford lessons!). I prefer playing in an orchestra, but alone I like to play Bach. I love singing and use to have lessons/sing in a choir, but nowadays I just sing along to music I play at home, much to the abhorrence of my cat :)

Listening to music: I like many different genres, but hate to classify music and put it all into separate categories, however it is useful for moments like these, so: heavy metal, goth, 'world' music, Capoeira music (Brazilian), 80s music (of the good, not cheesy, kind), reggae, ragga.
