Music and Writing

I just came up with one more thing to write on the article about music. As Karina mentioned in her own blog, it is important to figure out students' taste in music. Then I thought there might be some people who did not like music. Furthermore, as a guitarist, I am fond of instrumental music mainly played with the guitar. How can we deal with students with the same taste as mine? I obtain some feeling even though the music does not have lyrics; some cheer me up, others make me think or remind me of something. I consider this natural because there are a number of famous genres of music that do not have lyrics, and people who like such music DO gain some emotions out of it. Therefore, since this type of music causes an emotional change, I suppose it is possible to have students write what they feel after they listen to instrumental music. Is it difficult?

I don't think it would be difficult. You should definitely use what you're passionate about (if it's relevant) in the course of teaching your classes.
