Recommended: Personal narrative about music

Growing up I have been exposed to a variety of things. I have been taught lessons that I will keep with me forever, I have given and received exceptional love, and I have been scowled upon for not following rules in which my religion has set. These things have come and gone and they haven't really been constant in my life. The one thing that has entered my life that has been with me for as long as I can remember, is music.
Music makes up the base of my family and all my life it is what I have been surrounded by. I know it sounds cliche, but I don't know who I would be without music. Everywhere I go I think about it and it feels me up with joy. Me being around music and growing up with it is what led me to join band and choir. I was able to join two organizations that …show more content…

Being in band allowed me to surround myself with people who love music just as much as I do. These people who want to experience playing an instrument as well as experience the hard work that playing an instrument brings, has allowed me to love the qualities that music for this specific reason has brought. Music has allowed me to experience different worldviews and culture allowing to reminisce and relate to other people, which is a very big part of me making friends.
Music is what has brought my family together. Whether there is a range of emotion that my family is experiencing, it is music that comes along with. It is what brings us together and I don't think my family would be somewhat close without it. Being able to sing with my family is allowing me to share myself with them. Singing with my twin brother allows me to feel closer to him, as well as share a part of me that only he would understand. Music allows me to express a part of myself to my friends and family when I am unable to, or don't know how to express other parts of myself.I guess in a way music is a language to me.
Music to me is freedom and as I have mentioned before it is a language.
