Recommended: Importance of music in our society

Everyday I wake up, a tune exits my mouth unconsciously before I even enter the shower. I sing everywhere I go, hence my nickname "Walking Jukebox". Music plays a bigger part in our lives than we let on. Music holds a purpose to enhance the emotions that we are already feeling, but it also represents cultures and passions. It's odd looking back on my younger years and seeing how much my passion for music has molded my character. It has given me understanding on emotions that I have and have not experienced in a more vulnerable way.

My father is one of the many reasons that I

    Since the earliest days of human civilization music has been a key tool for communication of stories which carried emotions through them. If we think back to our youngest years of life music has surrounded us whether it was from our parents singing us lullabies or from some sort of toy that played music we can say that musical melodies have helped shape or lives one way or another. Once we start growing up and figuring out who we are our musical preferences change; some people like classical and some like punk. We start to befriend people who like the same music as us and eventually we may attend a musical event. Our lives somewhat revolve around the music that we listen to.

    Music is something that I believe we could not live without. There is a quote by a philosopher named Friedrich Nietzschethat says “without music, life would be a mistake”. I interpret this to mean that humans would not be creative if it were not for music. There is a reason that music can take us where word cannot. When you hear so many different sounds coming together to make a perfect harmony it is obvious that no words can make you feel the same way as the music. The best thing about music is that there are literally too many genres to choose from. There are different genres of music for any mood you are in. The origins behind these different genres is an interesting and rich history that is begging to be studied and written about. Let me explain....

  • How Music Has Influenced Me

    319 Words  | 1 Pages

    Throughout my life, music has always been a major influence. It has the power to change my mood when I'm feeling down, but the thing I find most intriguing about music is that it doesn't always end up improving your mood: like all forms of art, it imitates life, which is not always portrayed in a positive light. The musicians that I admire most have the versatility to induce several different emotional responses in the same piece. This quality is present in most of the wide variety of music I listen to, from Russian composer Dmiti Shostakovich, to Chicago jazz band Tortoise, to California pop/rock sextet Mr. Bungle.

    Music is a vital part of every day life for most people. It can be found, or heard, anywhere. Music is played on the radio, in moves, on television, on personal media devices, and at live concerts or outdoor venues. For some people music is purely for leisure or entertainment, and for others it is their hobby or career. As I reflect on my musical culture, music has always been an important aspect of my life. I was exposed to different genres of music at an early age, and I give my mother credit for that. Although she never received any musical training and had no knowledge of classical music, she loved all types of music and listened to many varieties. Naturally, my taste in music has changed throughout the years. I still listen to some of the same music from my childhood, but my preferences and experiences have expanded into a wider musical spectrum. Music has always been an important aspect of my life, and it continues to influence and shape my personal and social aspects of life.

    Music, a form of art, made up of unique and special sounds containing elements of pitch and rhythm can powerfully soothe one’s soul. Firstly, there are different types of music, and each has its own features. These sounds and features are what I admire in music because to me it creates a new form of communication to one’s consciousness.
