You know... if you're worried about not having anything to talk about with everyone, I could probably get you into some of the music they like. Not all of them are big on modern music, though... like with Yaomomo, you'd have better luck talking about orchestra pieces and the people who write'em. But I could probably get you into stuff that most of the guys like, at least.
[Suggesting, yes, that she thinks she could get him to like it all, himself. Because talking about something someone else likes without liking it yourself can be kinda flat, you know? She knows that. And she's got musical chops, obviously. Nothing to worry about, here.]
[It's still kind of surprising to him, that anyone would want to spend time with him. Especially after the way he was to the entire class for the first half of the year...but he's not going to say no. After all, they should stick together, right? And if she's willing to help him find things they might have in common, it'd be rude to turn her down.]
I don't really listen to much music, either. But if there are things you think I should listen to, I'd be interested. Maybe you could show me the kinds of music you like.
[After all, aren't they going to do this friends thing, too?]
Yeah. I mean, why not? I like listening to music, so it's not like I'd hate sharing it or something. It'd be good for you to start getting some interests in pop culture anyway, right? Since you said you don't watch TV and stuff, either.
[Said with a surprisingly blase half-shrug. Which is probably a good thing, from her.]
As for the music I like... how much rock have you listened to? Doesn't matter what kind of rock, any's fine. I just wanna know what to start with.
[Bold of her to assume he's listened to ANY rock, of course -]
You're probably right. I feel like I'm kind of behind on everything...sometimes when the class gets going, it's like they're speaking an entirely different language.
[A really confusing language. As if socialization wasn't hard enough.]
Ah, none, really. Just whatever I've overheard when someone has the radio on in the common room. So I guess...wherever you want to start?
[He does like taiko...does that count for anything...]

... Plus, that'd give us more to talk about, too.
