How does a conversation develop using musical preferences?

Exploring musical preferences can enrich any conversation. In this context, Mariana and Sam discuss their musical tastes, pointing out the techniques they use to express their preferences. Let's break down some of them!

How to express tastes and preferences?

In an everyday conversation, like the one Mariana and Sam have, we use comparative phrases to express our preferences. In the dialogue, some useful grammatical structures are highlighted:

  • More than....: Used to express that something is more preferred than another option.

    • Example: "I like listening to pop music more than rock music."
  • Better than....: Used to indicate that something is valued over something else.

    • Example: "It wouldn't make you feel better than listening to 'Someone Like You' over and over again."

These constructions allow you to clarify preferences and help you have fluent conversations - you can see it's pretty simple!

How to compare using "the same as"?

Another useful technique that comes up in the talk is comparison through "not the same as." It is an effective way to highlight differences between two options:

  • It is not the same as....: A formula to emphasize that two things are not equivalent.
    • Example: "Seeing Florence Welch live is not the same as going to an Adele concert."

This type of comparison is very effective in making clear distinctions and giving a broader context about our preferences.

What is the importance of recognizing musical preferences?

Knowing and knowing how to express our musical preferences goes beyond personal tastes; it is a window to connect with others, better understand their inner worlds and even create shared experiences around music. Mariana and Sam exemplify how these conversations can lead to memorable experiences, such as deciding to attend a concert together.

In addition, the dialogue also suggests that music scenes, whether pop, rock, jazz, or EDM, fuse genres, are full of diversity, which further enriches our sonic choices and experiences. Jacob Collier, mentioned in the conversation, is a great example of this, combining varied genres in his work.

What do we suggest?

Reflecting on your own tastes can be not only didactic but also entertaining. It's comparing yourself with yourself and discovering what really ignites your musical spark. Are you up for sharing your preferences? For example:

  • Do you prefer the excitement of a live concert or the intimacy of jazz festivals?
  • Do you find the catchy rhythm of pop music more appealing or the depth of a good rock ballad?

Comment and share - we're eager to hear your thoughts and new perspectives that will further enrich this conversation!


Let's remember that every musical preference is unique and valuable - music connects us and has the incredible ability to bring hearts and experiences together!

Debes usar "he likes going to music" cuando hablas de una preferencia general. Por ejemplo, "He likes going to music events" significa que le gusta en términos generales. Por otro lado, "he does like going to music" se usa para enfatizar o confirmar que realmente le gusta. Por ejemplo, "He does like going to music, especially concerts" enfatiza su gusto. La diferencia principal es el énfasis. En el contexto del curso, es útil para expresar preferencias de manera clara.

I prefer music to attending a concert. Although the concert is very exciting, I don’t like standing in line for many hours enduring crowds and inclement weather. As for my favorite musical genres, I think rock is better than pop.

Since my adolescence was marked by this genre and I like all the energy that its music has, also that its lyrics can be very poetic, pop is usually fun and energetic but also a little boring 🥱 since it is very commercial and some songs They are very similar to others, the lyrics are not usually very interesting.

When it comes to a concert preferences I like traditional singers from Ecuador so I support them or just friends who start in the industry. For me Latin and Affrobeats are better than Pop songs. Is not the same being present surrounded by the crowd and lights, the chorus then playing alone with your headphone. Memories
I have never been in a concert yet but I like pop music concerts better than rock music cause I think they are more quiet and people does not make a mess, I know in Rock music concerts people make a mess and they get drunk , and honestly that is not for me. Both of my favorites genres are pop music in English and Alterntaive rock music. Both of them are not the same , I used to listen to alternative music when I was a teenager, I remember my favorite singer was Avril Lavigne, but when I was a child and a young adult I used to listen to pop musica.. nowadays I listen both
Listening to music through a paid platform like Spotify is more convenient and cheaper than listening to the same artist at a concert, but certainly the live performance goes beyond the music, so if I really like the artist I make an effort to go to the concert. And I like to explore and listen to the best songs of a genre, more than just listening to the same genre always.
