When? do you have a daily music routine? Is some music more suitable at a certain time of day than another?
I try to listen to music whenever i can. Everyday i listen to music whilst on the bus to school, sometimes in lesson, in the car, at parties etc. I prefer to listen to music on my phone through headphones rather than out loud other than when i'm getting ready to go out, then ill play it on my tv or speakers.I like the idea that no one can judge what you're listening to. I don't really have a music routine i normally just shuffle all the songs or go onto my recently played.
Who with?
Do you share your music or is it an individual experience?
I usually listen to my music on my own but if i'm in the car or getting ready to go out with friends i will share it with them. Most of my friends share the same music taste as i do but they ones that don't are still happy to listen to my taste in music.
