Classical music can have soothing pieces as well. In New Age music, there is an emphasis on music that uplifts the spirits, is happy, or (if there is singing) uses hopeful lyrics. Classical music isn't always "happy". Plus, the term "Classical" can define a specific period in music history long before the new age artists you and I know today were even born. One of the major characteristics of music from the Classical period is the idea of balance and symmetry, simplicity and straightforwardness (as opposed to Baroque ornamentation).
comparing new age music to classical music is like comparing plastic beads to a diamond. Do you learn an instrument ? You should try it. It will give you a greater appreciation of what you are listening to.
About the same way I would describe the difference between New England cheddar and velveeta --
Or perhaps a good marble rye and Wonderbread.
Jackson Pollock and Thomas Kincaid
John Steinbeck and Richard Bach
One has substance, depth, dimension, subtle shifts of color and tone, and scope, and is a work of art for the sake of the art, while the other is empty, superficial, flavorless and colorless, devoid of vision, and written solely to make a buck.
Otherwise I have no opinion.
