IELTS Speaking Part-2 Favorite Music

Your Favorite Music

• What kind of music do you like?

• When do you listen to it?

• How does it change your mood?

Music is an intrinsic part of life for many people, and it resonates with our emotions in profound ways. Whether it's hip hop, rap, jazz, or classical, everyone has their own musical preferences. Personally, I am deeply passionate about music, and my taste leans towards Indian music, particularly sad songs.

Indian music holds a special place in my heart because it’s in my native language, which allows me to connect with the lyrics on a personal level. I find solace in the melancholy tunes, especially when they mirror my own experiences. My life hasn’t always gone as planned, and I often find myself feeling down. These sad Indian songs feel like they were composed just for me, as they express emotions and stories I can relate to.

I listen to these poignant melodies primarily when I’m feeling low. It might sound a bit counterintuitive, but immersing myself in these songs helps me process and validate my sadness. For me, it’s like having a musical companion that echoes my feelings. I also enjoy listening to these songs while driving; it makes the journey more introspective and helps me reflect on my emotions.

Additionally, I have a particular fondness for piano music. The gentle and expressive tones of the piano have a soothing effect on me. I even play these tunes on my own piano, which adds a personal touch to my musical experience.

Interestingly, my mood dictates the type of music I choose. When I’m happy, I gravitate towards upbeat and joyful songs, which enhance my positive emotions. Conversely, when I’m sad, I prefer the company of sad songs to dive deeper into my feelings. I recall a time when I was feeling down, and my cousin played a rap song. The stark contrast to my mood was jarring, and I found myself irritated and stormed out of the room, slamming the door behind me.

In summary, music is a powerful tool that reflects and influences my mood. Whether it's the soothing strains of a piano or the evocative lyrics of a sad Indian song, music profoundly impacts my emotional state and offers a unique way to navigate my feelings.
