Music has always been an important part of my life. I’ve always wanted to introduce my girls to different types of musicians as well. We live in Georgia, so country music is a large part of our culture. However, I was raised listening to various type of music and I think that’s important for my girls too. Someone that I’ve been wanting to introduce them to for a while is a great artist and his name is Andre Rieu.
Rieu is passionate about music on so many levels. What I really love about him is he wants people to simply love music. He’s one of the most popular musicians in Europe and is well known in the classical music industry in the USA. Rieu is a great story teller and loves to perform.
Now is your chance to get to know Andre Rieu’s music. His album “Shall We Dance” has been playing in our home over the last few weeks. My whole family loves his music and the calmness is brings to our home.
My favorite track was the Love In Venice (track # 6). I love it because it’s a great song to slow dance to. It takes you out of where you are and into this magical unexplainable place. I loved slow dancing with my husband to the song. My second favorite was the #1 on the track, titled “Second Waltz.” There is just something waltzy about it that makes you want to get up and move your feet. It also makes me want to learn how to Waltz!
