What is Music?

The combination of vocal, Instruments and dance is called music. Music is an art form whose medium is sound. Its common elements are pitch, melody, harmony, rhythm, tempo, meter, dynamics and the sonic qualities of timbre and texture. But in reality, music does not have any one concrete meaning. Music has different meanings for different people. Music is unique in each person's life. To a musician, music is their life. They eat, breathe, and live music. Music is their passion. For others, music is a hobby, a pastime. Music is something that arouses interest and is pleasurable. The casual fan may learn about music, how to read music, how to sing, or how to play a musical instrument, but they do not have the all encompassing passion a musician possesses. Music is a means of relaxation for some, while others simply enjoy listening to the sounds, melodies, and rhythms that music brings to their ears, minds, and hearts. 

Why Music?

These days’ human beings have become machines. We have no life. Like machines we begin our day and by the end of the day we are totally drained out. We maybe a working professionals or anything, each one of us is stressed out. There is so much tension; worries in our lives that we need to slow down a little. We are constantly running trying to keep pace with our peers, sometimes with no goal. Where are we heading? However today we may find the similarity between us and machines. They need fuel like us, they maybe more efficient but need a break like us. Differences are many, but the foremost is emotions. They lack emotions. We are full of it and Music helps in recharging us. 

Music is a universal language. It can influence people from every walk of life in a positive manner. One does not need to be a musical maestro to enjoy any form of music. It is the language of the soul and therefore connects to God instantly. Music can heal our sorrow. God has created such magnificent creatures and the best gift he could bestow on us was music. One can't possibly imagine a world without music. There is a quote very well said about music by Billy Joel-“I think music in itself is healing. It's an explosive expression of humanity. It's something we are all touched by. No matter what culture we're from, everyone loves music.”
