After teaching spin for two winter seasons now, I have quite a bit of music built up. It's been interesting, and fun, finding out how much music is out there! I always tell the class to let me know if they really don't like any particular music, if it's too loud, too quiet. I believe the music can make or break the class. I also think it's important for the instructor to get into her/his music. That carries over to the riders. They can tell if you are excited about your music or not. If you are enthused about it, it helps the class motivation. I often tell them why I picked a particular song for a particular move. And sometimes they'll suggest music, which I will use if if works. I agree, that it takes a large amount of time to create a new CD, but I think it's worth it. I would rather choose my own music than buy someone else's choices.

Right now, I am just glad it's spring and outdoor riding is taking over from spinning!
