- What is music to you?
- Define “good” music.
- What music do you listen to when you’re stressed/angry/happy/sad?
- How and why does music speak to our emotions?
- What’s more important to you, a good melody or good lyrics?
- Do you enjoy music from your own country or other countries more? From which other countries?
- Can we learn about a culture from the music that it produces? What have you learned from foreign music?
- Would you be interested in a career in the music industry? Why, why not?
