Hi, Jack! I think this topic is fascinating! Also, the vocabulary is very rich and useful!

[@JacksEnglish]

I'm glad you liked it, Norma! I have been really enjoying the topics recently!😀

[@akankshashetye5706]

hey jack! Yes, i do play a musical instrument and its a flute. I am actually learning to play it right now but hopefully i become a pro in the near future. I like the flute as its sound soothes me down and brings me a sense of calmness from the hectic work schedule of my life.

[@JacksEnglish]

Hi! Thanks for sharing your story. I hope your schedule isn't too hectic nowadays!

[@akankshashetye5706]

Listening to my favorite Ielts teacher mentioning my fav boy group is riveting.

[@qcap3316]

I don't play any musical instrument but l love music. I used to participate in dance activities at my college time.

[@JacksEnglish]

Yes, dancing is another aspect of music I didn't mention. I'm a terrible dancer so maybe that's why I didn't bring it up!

[@WandleR133]

I'm pretty big on music! Thanks for the video!

[@JacksEnglish]

You're welcome! Music is a wonderful part of life👍

[@anupreetkaur4747]

Hlo jack sir. Unfortunately i do not know how to play an instrument sir . But i want to learn this .what about you jack sir?

[@JacksEnglish]

@@anupreetkaur4747 Yes, I recommend trying an instrument! I learnt the piano and drums :)

[@АннаЦанева-ю6щ]

Hi Jack what an interesting topic about music. Well, I really love music and I could say I'm musician from early age. I was 7 years old when I found out that I can play the piano only by ear with one hand it's just an awesome talent that I had and I still have it. However, when I was 12 I took lessons for singing because I was a good singer and I tried to take lessons for piano once I had tried to play the piano with 2 hands I didn't have balance so I gave up on my talent. But I think is never to late to start again and learn how to play the piano.

[@JacksEnglish]

It sounds like you have a real talent for music! It's definitely never too late and I hope your next try at the piano goes well!😀

[@Sarah-nb6sv]

Thank you very much Mr.Jack webster

[@JacksEnglish]

You're welcome!

[@YanYieful]

I discovered Coldplay because of the song Yellow 😄 and got totally addicted because of The Scientist 😆

[@atousamirzayar2804]

It was very perfect thanks a lot❤

[@JacksEnglish]

Glad you liked it!

[@laylaallili3090]

Hello Jack, Wow😃 you were the drummer in a rock band. I hoped if I could see and listen to your play. I believe you are totally awesome. By the way, you are still young. I'm glad because you brought this an interesting topic. Unfortunately, my answer would be I don't play musical instrument and I have no idea about it. I am going to let you know why. Maybe you wouldn't believe me, but what I am going to tell is true. Playing music was forbidden in my country for many years. You know, the government was strict and there were cruel laws in the past. Fortunately and finally, those cruel laws have changed. Nowadays, there are many concerts in Riyadh season. In addition, I heard they see about teaching music in schools soon. For me, I love to listen to quiet and sad music especially classical music when I feel tired or in free time.

[@JacksEnglish]

Wow! Thanks for sharing; I had no idea your country banned playing music! Well, I'm glad things have changed and I hope you get an opportunity to try playing an instrument one day. Your English in this comment was wonderful, but I would just change one thing: 'In addition, I heard they are thinking about teaching music in schools soon.' I wouldn't use the phrasal verb 'see about' in this case. Have a good week, Layla!

[@laylaallili3090]

@@JacksEnglish Your feedback gave me more hope. Currently, I try to learn some things that I couldn't do them in my past. Thank you for your correction. 🤗🌹

[@thuthutun121]
