I took piano lessons when I was ten and it just didn't work out.\n\nfacebook dialogPinterest\n\nFour years in, I begged my teacher to take me off the boring John Thompson primers and let me play sheet music. My first pick? \"Right Here Waiting for You,\" by Richard Marx. (It's probably the only song I can still play.) After that? \"November Rain\" by Guns N' Roses. (Turns out Slash's guitar solos should be kept to the guitar.) Post-\"November Rain,\" I gave up the piano and decided to spend my time appreciating music, as opposed to ruining it.\n\nNow, fifteen years post-piano-quitting, I'm the Senior Features Editor here at Teen Vogue. Before I came to Teen Vogue, I spent most of my time writing and editing music pieces and thankfully, I've been able to do some of that at Teen Vogue too. One of the coolest things about my job is getting to go to new artist showcases or hearing albums in advance.\n\nSo, with this blog, I hope to share some of that with you. And talk about what music you love (and maybe a few things you hate). Music people love to talk about music. Debate it. Force it on others. You know what I mean. There's nothing better than having a friend tell you about an artist that you end up absolutely loving or getting a mix CD that introduces you to bands you'd never heard of.\n\nSo what are you listening to? This blog will be a lot better if you let me know what you're thinking, so let's hear it.\n\nAlso! Music Blogger is a new column in the print issue of the magazine. Check out the September 2007 issue for more.\n\nfacebook dialogPinterest\n\nHere's what I'm listening to now: \"Fool For a Lonesome Train\" from Ben Harper's upcoming, excellent Lifeline."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
