I would be really interested on this.I do think that educating yourself with different types of music will increase your appreciation but will not neccesarily become a preference. on the subject of being exposed to sound while in the womb,i saw once a documentary about how rhythm plays an essential part of life in the african culture everything they do has some sort of rhythm,pregnant mothers dancing and druming on their bellies, they also showed how workers would syncronize together to a certain rhythm while digging a whole in a construction scene,and how kids as young as 3 yrs old do little games clapping to claves and alternating polyrhythms with each others hands.But then again there are people that inherit rhythm and people that dont,regardless of culture....perhaps unrhythmic people can eventually learn it but will probably never feel it the way others do.My girl who teaches kindergarden has recently attended an interesting seminar about the importance of early motoric development in children and the lack of it in certain countries. The other aspect that still interest me is why we are attracted to certain types of music.The identification part of it,just like color preference of clothes,but does all of this really reveal a part of us or our past? Some people think if you listen to somber music and dress all black every day or if you listen what people tend to label as "depressive music" or like certain "grausam" art there must be some sort of problem with you, or predict that it will eventually have a negative effect in you.But i am still not convinced with this.When i talk to people and say i like Pink floyd or Camaron de la Isla and love dalí they say "oh too depressive for me".But for me it doesnt feel that way,it just feels deep and sends me shivers,i once had a girlfirend that would become really stressed and irritated everytime i played a king Crimson album! the different perception and its preference behind is what still intrigues me...
