Music carries each and every one of us to a new awareness. It can reach to the innermost part of an individual. Music can envelope our emotions from tears all the way to our joy. It captivates and motivates. As I attended a concert on Saturday, November 7, 2015, Lynyrd Skynyrd performed with power and feeling to their audience.
Everything I do revolves around my music. I have been around music all my life, whether it was listening to it or playing it. I’m very passionate about music and I love playing an instrument. The instrument
Music can bring the brightest of joys that keeps us moving through our dull and boring lives. An example of this joy is Ishmael Beah’s life as a boy soldier in his book A Long Way Gone. As he tells you his story, he tells of his dance group with his friends, the times he heard music in the middle of war, and how music saved him from the madness that brewed within him. Music has the unique ability to create peace in a person’s life despite the difficulties surrounding them, and to bring a constant reminder of who they are as a person.
Joining band had an immense and almost immediate impact on my life. Before being in band I had never had a talent that I felt completely confident in. I enjoyed practicing and spent many hours trying to improve my musical ability. In
I’m not sure where I would be today without band and the support of Ms. Ryan and my fellow band mates. Ever since the first day of band camp freshman year, I have felt like the Monacan Band is my second family. For example, during the first couple of days of freshman band camp, there was one member of my section that I thought I wouldn’t get along with at all. Four years later, that person is one of my best friends. I am very fortunate to be able to have made friends that love music the way that I do.
Music helps me in many ways in my life, such as escape from the routine of everyday life, to dance, to raise my self-esteem and other aspects. I dedicate many hours to music, I like to feel happy, that is why I listen to music moved and happy the longest. When I have a bad day it helps me to feel good, when I have a good day the music makes me feel even better. Music puts me to sleep in times of fear and Solitude. It is not enough for me to just listen to the music, I also like to dance and enjoy it to the limit until I cannot continue because it helps me to be active.
Music has helped me take feedback in a good way. I can use the feedback to become better, and I can use that feedback to help teach someone else that
Through music I learned how to break out of my shell and by doing that, people got to see who I actually was which then brought lifelong friends into my life. Auditioning for musical theatre as well as the school acapella group, Strawberry Fields, brought a huge deal of anxiety and panic but I learned how to transform that nervousness into excitement. Strawberry Fields brought me and is still bringing me a source of happiness that I couldn’t find anywhere else, a rush I couldn’t find anywhere else. The stage soon became my home which surprised me a great deal, to this day my safe place is on stage.
I was lost, but the music found me and now it is one of the most important things in my
Feelings of confusion, anger, and doubt flooded my head at that moment. I could not believe it; my own mother was diagnosed with stage three Lymphoma. Our little family of four would be strained for the next few months as the main caregiver underwent chemotherapy and other treatment. We all knew we would have to take more responsibilities around the house, but the true duties exceeded expectations. My mother 's responsibilities would have to be divided among my father, brother, and me.
“Music is a moral law. It gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and charm and gaiety to life and to everything” (Plato). If my childhood was filled with anything: it was imagination. From my earliest memories of my cousin, and I putting on a sold out concert on my papaw’s front porch; to putting my baby dolls to sleep with lullabies. Music has always been a big part of my life: it was the one thing I could always count on, no matter where I went; and that still stands true today.
Music has had a big affect on my life. Music kept me busy when I had nothing else to do after school. Music has also been a safe haven for me. Music has been in my life ever since I was a little kid. I started to indulge myself into music when I joined my church’s choir in 3rd grade.
At a young age, I constantly wanted to express myself through music. I always found a way to incorporate music into my daily life, whether it be by blasting my favorite music, creating my own funky songs, or even having the opportunity to participate in my elementary school choir. My love for music actually took flight after I had decided to join my elementary school choir, however, in my opinion, it is not the most transformative moment in my life. After elementary
It makes mundane tasks like folding laundry or doing homework more enjoyable. Music is always playing in the background of my life; I often find that it helps me de-stress. When listening to certain songs I feel an overwhelming peace take over me. That is why I love music, because it has the ability to change my mood in an instant. One song, if it’s the right song, can change my entire day.
Even with my moods, whether it is sad or mad, music will help me get through it. It has absolutely been an enormous part of my life and who I am. Thus, this is to say that I have musical talent. I am in a high school marching band, where I play any piano-like instrument. My viewpoint with music has come to a simple conclusion, without it, I would not know who I am or what to do with my life.
