Do you prefer listening to music alone or with friends?

Is traditional music popular in your country?

What kind of music do you like?

I've got quite a mixed taste, really. Most of the time I listen to pop and a bit of hip-hop, but when I need to concentrate I put on instrumental music, because lyrics tend to distract me.

Has your taste in music changed over the years?

Definitely. As a teenager I only listened to whatever was in the charts, but now I'm more open-minded. My dad got me into older Uzbek songs, and I've actually grown to love some of them.

Can you play a musical instrument?

Not really, unfortunately. I had a few guitar lessons at school, but I gave up after a couple of months. I regret that now, and I'm thinking of taking it up again online.

Is traditional music popular in your country?

Yes, especially at weddings and family celebrations. You'll almost always hear traditional instruments like the doira at a big wedding, even if the rest of the evening is modern pop.
