Letters: Readers tune in to give their opinion on what can be considered ‘real’ music

In his praise of the Guardian for covering the proms, it was disappointing to see Colin Bradbury use the outmoded distinction that classical music is “real” music in contrast with popular music . That was the view when I was at school in the 1960s, when one teacher said to us: “What you’re listening to is rubbish. This is good. Listen to it.” What self-respecting teenager wouldn’t revolt at such a command? It prejudiced my view of classical music for many years.

People who say things like classical music is the only real music don't say it with the intent to be snobbish. It is because they love it so much they just can't help themselves.

Music….does it matter what it is… if it touches you then it’s good

Classical music, jazz, rocks, pops, and... are all beautiful music. A matter of what you like and enjoy.
