Applying Classical Training Across Musical Genres

When creating and enjoying music, the small, tightly-knit world of classical music can feel claustrophobic. The music that you love to scream-sing in your car on the way to work doesn’t seem to hold as much value here. You can’t find inspiration to play Mahler by listening to the Eagles… right? I disagree. It is possible to consider all these music genres and more as inspiration for your classical studies.
