I used to think that Classical Music was boring because I was ignorant admittedly. It wasn't until I was in high school and my orchestra teacher (Learned violin for close to 7 years in school) started to get me interested in the popular composers like Beethoven, Hayden, Mozart, and Puccini. When I went to college I originally wanted to go into Music Education, so I took 4 semesters of Music Theory doing OK in it. I was fortunate to have taken those classes (they were some of the hardest classes I ever took in college). Reason being not only am I able to appreciate the music more, but I actually understand the differences between parts, tones, keys, etc.
