Music, it's a part of everyone's life. From childhood sing-a-long songs, to garage grunge music, and everything in between music is everywhere. Growing up with an extremely musical background it was in my genes that I would become a musician. Playing music has helped me become the person I am by being a release for my anger, broadening my future and make new friends.. I first joined the band in the fourth grade playing the drums. I played for about two weeks then I quit because I didn't like it, mostly because of the teacher. In the sixth grade we got a new music teacher and told me I look like a trumpet player, so I gave it a try. I was taking music lessons but after the first one my music teacher told me she had to leave because she had breast cancer but told me never give up on playing music. She told me it was in my blood. Our new music teacher had no instrument knowledge so I was left to teach my self. I worked and worked and no part of it was easy. Many times I wanted to quit just forget it and do nothing, just be a student. Then I came to junior high school with a real marching band and concert band. The first day all the people, the instruments, the sounds of music, and the soon to be camaraderie was just mind blowing. I continued to play the trumpet and in the ninth grade picked up the bass guitar. I joined a punk rock band and played bass for about a year, and then we broke up. I still play both my bass and trumpet through high school and plan on continuing playing not only in college but for the rest of my life. Music has been such a big help in my life. When I would have troubles in life I could always listen to my music or play music and write songs about things going on in my life. I still remember the time I h... ... middle of paper ... ...h my shy exterior and has allowed me to make numerous amounts of friends. Most of my high school memories are with my band mates; from goofing off at practices to the band trips I wouldn't trade them for anything. When you spend as much time with people as you to your band mates they grow on you. You always have something in common, music. When I came to college I was nervous meeting new people, new classes, a new home, it was scary but I met 30 plus kids in band and it made it so much easier to adapt. All in all music is an essential part of life. If it weren't for music I would be a totally different person. Music as brought me through some tough times and has helped me meet new people and has taught me something I can never lose, the power of music. When someone says music is their life I can relate because if it weren't for music I don't know what I would do.
Everyone can say that music has become a major part of almost everything in our lives, but many argue about whether or not music is a luxury or whether we need it to survive. Music has been around for as long as anyone can remember, yes it has evolved, but there’s always been music it seems. From tribes performing their rituals with music, all the way to someone listening to it just for fun. But, many say that a human needs music to survive, that without it life would not go on. And like mentioned before, it has been around for many years and it seems like one cannot picture a world without it. In my opinion, I believe, that one does not need music to live, it is just something people like to do while studying, practicing a sport, or just for fun.
Music is a large consumption of my daily life and the artists I listen to have shaped me in some way. Listening to music is one of my most time
Music in my life is really has become a positive thing. I get to relax when I am stressed out, or it gets me pumped up before I do something that would be hard for me or that would need a lot of work for me to do. If I am studying, I would listen to music that is calming with lyrics or with a very good beat such as dubstep. When I am really stressed out with school, I like to lie down and listen to alternative music such as Fall Out Boy, Cage the Elephant, or Twenty One Pilots to calm me
I can’t touch music, but it touches me. I cannot exist without it. Music surrounds me and envelops me. The music isn’t just background noise, it has power. The lyrics beat and intensity can fill me with angst, sadden me, pump me up and help me relax. Music is life and it has power. It helps me delve deep into my personality and individuality and has helped me discover a more introspective side of myself. However, it wasn’t always like this.
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.
My love for music has kept me afloat through many tribulations throughout my life. When I was younger I was fascinated with the concept of music theory. This love led me to play recorder, piano, and now guitar. I love the freedom that music allows one when composing an original piece. There are so many genres and aspects of music to choose that one can never be bored. With my music, I feel I am able to paint a vivid story of my life. As the notes carry my thoughts and passions, I am able to share my hopes and dreams with anyone who would stop and listen. I hope to improve my skills in the future and work on sharing my love for music with others. There's no better feeling than composing and preforming ones own
Music helped me realized that i am an auditory learner and helped me become a better multitasker what with musical, school work, and ski team happening all in the same season. Learning new pieces has always been a great experience for me and i’ve loved every
However, band also help me in other areas of my existence, it also created an atmosphere for me to build relationships with different people. Since I was involved in sports throughout my middle school and high school careers the majority of my friends also had involvement in sports. When I began to play in the band I was able to talk to students I had never spoken to before, and therefore, was able to build new friendships. Yet, band was not the only activity I was involved in that helped me build friendships. Forensics also allowed me to build relationships with other students. The majority of the relationships derivative of forensics competitions were based from other schools. Throughout my three years in forensics, I was given the opportunity to prepare a speech and present it in front of a mass of other participants and a judge. This was not an easy task for me. Since the beginning of my educational career, I have been extremely timid when speaking in front of large groups. This timid aspect in my personality created determination to overcome it. Which is ultimately the reason I joined forensics. Forcing myself to participate in area that created an unsettling feeling, allowed me to grow and develop my skills
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.
With so many different cultures, races, religions, personalities, etc., it’s surprising how many fundamental things humans share. Music intertwines us all with its diversity and the effect it has on us. Whether you’re looking to rock out in a dance party, get a good workout in, sleep soundly, study hard, recover from a depressive state, or get the thrill of a super scary horror movie, music is there. Although listening to music is thought to be solely a source of entertainment, it can be used to improve almost all aspects of our everyday life.
Music is the third most important thing to me in life outside of god and my mom. Music keeps me balanced. Every since I was a baby music was played around me. Jazz was always played around me to soothe me. There would be times when I would be really hyper acting like I couldn't sleep, my mom would put on some jazz and I would be fine. A lot of times I can have a long chore and I say to my self how can I accomplish this, Knowing it will take me forever. So I'll put on some jazz music and in twenty-five minutes I'm finished.
been in band for three years in middle school, high school band was a whole new world full of
Music is that one friend that will always be there and will never judge us. It changes and has a huge impact on lives tremendously. There will always be that one song that can make a person get up and go. Sometimes, when we are sick it helps to take away some of the sorrow, pain, and it comforts us the best way it can. (White)
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.
Music is an essential part of life because of the expression it allows people to have, its entertainment, and its therapeutic ways for the world.
