Recommended: How music had a positive impact on me growing up

Music Autobiography Music has been a big part of my life since I was young. I was seven years old when I received my first guitar. It was a black electric guitar that my parents purchased at Walmart. It had a tiny amp and a cable jack that came with it. I never could play any songs on the guitar, just some really loud noises that probably annoyed my parents. I started listening to rock music after I got the electric guitar because I liked the loud guitar and the powerful drums. Another influence was my father because he had hundreds of CD's that we would listen to in the car. When my love for music really kicked in was when I went and saw Nickelback, Breaking Benjamin, and Sick Puppies in concert in Greensboro. Those three bands are modern rock bands that I really enjoy. When the flames came out of the stage and the first guitar riff started, I knew that I was in …show more content…

I was saddened at first, but then happy because I realized that I am at the level where I don’t need lessons. I continue to learn songs on my own and try to better myself. Playing the guitar helps me relax and calms me down on a bad day. It is amazing that music can have that big of an effect on people. I wish that more people would play music or just listen to it because maybe that would solve most of the problems in America. Now, in two thousand seventeen, I am scheduled to see thirty bands. I will analyze the guitar players and even now the singers to understand what they do to make them sound good. It is crazy to think that one concert changed my life forever. One concert created my love of music and inspired me to start playing music on my own. I have started to write my own music and melodies. I hope that I can play in front of thousands of people one day and inspire young kids. It would be an honor for someone to say I was the reason they started playing

    Many people across the world are affected every day by the gift of music. To those of us who let it into our lives, we truly view it for what it is. Unfortunately, not everyone realizes how powerful it can be. For me singing was something that I was always good at; I never really took it to heart. I never understood when people would talk about how music had changed there lives; I just didn't see how a few notes put together could affect anyone so deeply. It wasn't until last April when our choir was chosen among a select few to perform at Carnegie Hall that I would understand the indubitable impact of music.

    I’ll never forget the Christmas that I received my first MP3 player. It was a gift from my Grandmother, and she had already downloaded some of my favorite music onto it. The MP3 player had around fifty classic rock songs, and it was the start of my ever-growing music library. My father always listened to classic rock, and I learned to love it from a young age. I can still remember driving around in his Ford Bronco blasting AC/DC and Metallica like it was just yesterday. That type of music made me feel like a hardcore kid that could do anything he wanted. Classic rock was the beginning of my love for music, and still has a special place in my heart to this day. I downloaded more and more rock onto my first MP3 player until I ran out of memory and needed another. Over time I branched out to new genres of music, and found myself really liking the way some of the rap music made me feel. I did not always agree with the material that was being sung, but it made me feel a certain way that nothing else could compare to. Nowadays I love the beat and rhythm of

    At the age of ten, my parents decided that I should learn how to play an instrument. In addition, they also chose which instrument I should learn, the guitar. I had no interest in learning the guitar, because all I wanted to spend my leisure time on was improvising my soccer skills. However, my parents believed soccer was a waste of my precious time, time which I should be using to focus on school and expanding my brain by taking on a difficult task, such as learning to play music. This was contrary to what I believed, but I had to do it or else my parents would be displeased. Therefore, the following week, I began taking guitar lessons.

    I was born and raised in Tallahassee, Florida. My mother was born in Taiwan and moved to the United States to continue her education when she was in her mid- twenties. My father is from Fort Walton Beach, Florida. My parents have different cultures, and as a result they have completely different backgrounds. When I was growing up, I had a hard time reconciling these different cultures. It was difficult for me and my sister to know what to do in many social situations because our primary schema (our parents) would act completely different in similar social situations. When I would ask my parents for advice, they would give me contrasting suggestions. As I grew older, I started to realize that both my parents were right, even if they acted like opposites.

    There is an event that I just can describe as one of the most unique and memorable in my life: attending my first concert. After years of listening to Ron Pope’s music, watching his YouTube channel, and following all of his social media accounts, the satisfaction of seeing someone whose music has been the soundtrack to my life for so long was unreal. There were moments that I had to internally remind myself that this is, in fact, happening in real life. Being a dedicated (some may say eccentrically so) fan is tough work – and I was rewarded with two hours of pure magic for one night. Attending my first concert was a unique event that I will always remember fondly because of the atmosphere, the amazing performance and the sense of connection
