One of the things I am thankful for is music. Music is a way to expressing yourself and your emotions. A piece of music is often a snippet into a person’s life and their feelings about life. It is a medium that is often personal, yet it can be shared with the entire world. It is truly a worldwide medium; music can be found almost everywhere.
I think there is hardly a day where I go without hearing some form of music. From the simple song of a little bird in a tree to the melodies of the choral groups at Piedmont’s Center of Worship and Music, I’m always hearing it. I cannot live without it. Sure, I don’t agree with some of the lyrics of some songs, but music has such a wide selection, I don’t have to listen to them. I can simply listen to the style of music that suits me best.
Music is also one of those things that isn’t hard to make. A person can simply tap their toes or beat a rhythm with their hands on a table to create a beat. And then, you can get others to join in with their voice or another sound. It isn’t long before you have the potential of creating a song, with or without words.
Music is also a uniting art form. People often get together and make the music they enjoy. Think about it; if all the music of the world disappeared today, people could still come together and make more. Even if you took away all the instruments, they could still make it with their voice or their hands. Music is universal. There are different styles, but they all came about from some one making a beat; finding that rhythm.
