Music is one of the most mind blowing and soul uplifting form of entertainment that gives the world meaning. A world without music is like a world without creatures. Just like creatures fashioned the world, so also music does. We can therefore say, in a way that music is life, or rather music gives meaning to life.
During my school days, I did a Course on music. This course deals basically with both theoretical and practical aspects of music. The theoretical aspects of music tries to explain music in general, talking about its history which includes many important eras, such as the Middle Ages, Renaissance, Baroque, and Classical eras. It also looked at what music 馃幍 was, what it is, and what its becoming.
Music is an arrangement of sounds that makes meaning to the hearing. That is to say, music is totally different from noise. Music can be categorised into different ways. We have the gospel music, secular music, art music, etc.
Music is however as old as man. From generation to generation, music has shaped cultures and society around the world.This is because, music, has powerful influence on humans.
It is important to note that, the way people perceives music varies. That which makes meaning to me, may not actually make meaning to another. But the interesting aspect of it, is finding people who share common interests with you, such as a favorite song or favorite song artist, or maybe something just as simple as liking the same music genre.
