At Music to My Ears, we share songs we especially enjoy. Tell us why you chose it – whether it’s the melody, lyrics, memories, or artists. Then discuss the song with the group. Sometimes others are fans; sometimes not. All opinions are valid and welcome.
No musical knowledge is required to join Music to My Ears - just an appreciation of music. No particular genre of music is needed or disqualified. We've listened to folk, rock, metal, jazz, blues, popular, indie, classical and just about anything you can think of. Upon joining the group, you will be provided with music attributes that may help with discussion, but no specific knowledge of music is required, and you aren't limited to discussing those attributes.
Most meetings have a theme to the music brought, although participants can bring anything if nothing in the theme resonates. Sample themes we’ve used are love songs, influential high school or young adult songs, songs mentioning rivers, Irish or Irish-influenced songs, and sad songs. Check the events listing to find out the theme for the month.
Your chosen song can available on your USB or CD, or streamed from various platforms.
When Attending - If your song is available on an internet platform, please send a link or the song name, artist, and if necessary, the version to the host of the meeting. This helps the meeting to run smoothly. The host will not share your selection with others prior to the meeting.
