The Sound of Life

Moods and feelings can easily be summed up by a little piece of music, even though it will take lots of words to explain them fully. Music is not only the combination of instruments and vocals together to form a harmony. “Music expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent”. (Victor Hugo) Music can be used as a form of expression, and it’s also used to have fun.

                My experience with music has been a great one.  I’ve always had a passion for music, and I listen to it everywhere I go. When I was younger I used to sing in churches and weddings, and this is how it started. Then, with the time I learned how to play the guitar as well as the piano. The experiences I’ve had are beautiful, and I always thank God for the talent he has given me. When I was in High School, they used to do talent shows and I always participated with the school’s band and I always won first place.

                The majority of composers write music about their history experience, love, culture, and more. Sometimes, we experience difficult moments in our lives and we get rid of them by writing. I’ve written music and I’ve record a few songs of my own. Each composer has their own unique style and expression to music. Music and its melodies can bring us memories, both good and bad.

                Some people find the meaning in lyrics, while others may prefer its rhythm and beats. Music is always there for you, it tells stories, hold memories, and even though you can’t touch music, music can touch you. “Some teachers believe that coping with performance anxiety is an essential part of a classical music education”. (Tindall, Blair) Therefore, music is a good way to cope with anxiety, and is a good way to relax.
