After reading Testemonials of Young People who Left Chrstian Rock, I wrote a letter to the keepers of that website:

Dear Sirs,

I was reading your testimonials about young people and
Christian Rock and I wanted to pass along a warning
that Christian Rock is not the only bad music.

A lot of people think they can stay close to God by
listening to light classical music, but they must
beware this is also a path to Satan.  I used to listen
to light classical music and I got to really like it,
to the point that it was kind of distracting, so I
couldn't read my bible when I was listening to it. 
This was bad enough, but I started getting into harder
classical.  I got some CDs of the light classical they
play on the radio and I began to listen to the minor
key movements of those symphonies.  They are much more
intense and very distracting.  I started getting into
operas and more and more modern classical music.  I
listened to Wagner's Ring Cycle, which is a completely
pagan piece of music, glorfying pagan gods.  I quit
reading the bible entirely and instead started playing
the tuba, against my parents' wishes because Wagner
used it so heavily.  I spent the time I used to spend 
praying practicing scales.
Even as bad as this was, it got worse.  I got all the
way up to twentieth century classical music and
started listening to people like Stockhausen and then
worse, known homosexuals like Bernstein and John Cage.
 What John Cage wrote wasn't even really music
anymore, it was just noise, but it came from the
classical tradition and I can trace a straight path
from my listening to Bach and Beethoven to my
listening to John Cage.
At some point, I was reading a score of 4'33", a piece
of music written by John Cage that is just 4 minutes
and thirty three seconds of silence and I realized
what he did was not music at all, it was Satan's tool
for distracting me from God.  I quit playing the tuba
and got rid of all my CDs.

Now I can't listen to even a major key piano sonata
without thinking of heavier classical and wanting to
fall away from God again.  Even many hymns, especially
ones by classical giants, like Bach are distracting to
me now.  I have scars that may never heal from this
period of being away from God and disobeying my
parents and I may never forget the music theory I
leanred (it is distracting at church to be hearing
chord relationships, when I should just be singing and
glorifying God).

Everyday, i thank God for delivering me from Satan's
classical music and pray that He may continue to keep
me safe.  This will always be a struggle for me.  The
best way to avoid this trap is not to fall into it. 
Please warn your readers to only listen to hymns!

I am a 20 year old student from North Carolina and I
have been away from classical music for 3 years now.

thank you
