I would start by listening to some good classical music radio stations, like Classic FM in London or WQXR in New York. Write down the composer and piece when you hear something that you like and then listen to the full symphony or concerto on Apple Music. I think that the new classical section on Apple Music is excellent.
I also find that one of the most exciting elements of classical music is live performance, and there are great orchestras in Florida. Get tickets for a concert and then do a little reading on the pieces to be performed before you go.
It would be great to read in Steady Beats about your thoughts on entering the world of classical music.
This is so helpful, Matt. Thank you. I never knew that there so many features in Apple Music.
And I like your embrace of a quiet life.
But be prepared - 50 is nothing - greater Rubicons to come.
Thanks Drake. One rubicon at a time, please!
Question for you. You are a cultured person -- any advice on beginning to listen to classical music? Where would you start?

Great suggestions, Drake. Thank you!
Wow. I sure learned a lot just now. And I’m grateful it’s all here in writing so that I can refer back to it.
It’s kinda cool that you listen to Nora Jones so much! It’s not something a stereotypical man would select!
