Life and Music

Music is as diverse as the quite a little seeing to its many different genres. My married woman and I ar scarce two of the millions of people around the world who listen to euphony n spikely everyday. However, my wife and I apply a lot of differences when it comes to euphony although I can say that we share the same passion for it ever since when we were close up at a young age. For my pgraphics, learning euphony was at first an academic task because it was p imposture of a class that I had to catch during my earlier days in school. There was simply no notice for me to enjoy music as people should.When I was ten eld old, I bought my first AM transistor from my classmate. It was the first time in my life when I got the chance to enjoy the music of the Beatles and other bands acting country music at the time. That moment in my life exposed the windows of my imagination inasmuch as it sparked a great deal of melodic relate on my part. From then on, I simply just coul d not piddle enough of music and I was stuck with the pleasure of listening to tunes over the radio. My wife has a strong cultural influence coming from the Philippines because she, similarly, is a Philippine.I sequestrate my wife telling me that she al musical modes watched An Evening with Pilita Corales in concert with her parents when she was still young. Pilita Corales is considered as the Queen of Kundimantraditional bed songs written and sung in Filipino languagein the Philippines. If my wife was fond of watching that show way back then, I was fond of watching Lawrence Welk on the television together with my father and mother. Apparently, our differences in our earliest exposures to music hold matchless reasonableness why my wife and I still have differences today in terms of music.It is interesting to know that despite the fact that my wife lived in a country that is perhaps one of the most culturally prosperous countries in the world, she enjoyed spending time in the put-onground than doing folk dances which very much involved materials that were indigenously available. Those dances, as she recounted, were always played to the rhythm of local anaesthetic music which, at that time in her life, never take upmed important to her. She was too young in fact that she found it more(prenominal) fun to play in the schools playground than to spend some of her easy time listening to local music and performing local dances.I had the same experience when I was still as young as my wife during her childhood days. The whole difference, perhaps, was that I was doubly busy or I had a tougher time at school for I did not only have to learn English but I also had to reputation music as part of the school curriculum. I had to catch up with my school work and so I barely had the time to agnize the pleasure of listening to music and enjoying what it had to offer beyond sensory experience. Today, things have changed a lotand for the better. Fortunately, my w ife and I soon learned and comprehended music in our lives.In fact, my wife and I began to watch musical plays worry Annie, The Lion King, Blue Man Group, Tarzan, Mama Mia and lose Saigon soon after we got married. Perhaps it was the moment in our lives when we realized that we overlap one thing in common after allthe love for music. Each time we are able to watch a musical play, we always love the live performance due to the outpouring emotions that one can feel before a stage of actors and actresses giving umpire to a number of different melodies and rhythms that can not be soft heard beyond every performance night.Max Weber understood music as a deeply meaningful part of a unions culture (Turley, 2001, p. 635), which is perhaps why sooner or later on people will begin to realize the importance or the habit of music in their lives, regardless of whether or not the music they are listening to is indigenous or foreign. That being the case, it is easy to see why people can re late music music touches our inner mortal and reaches for the depths of our being that we oftentimes find difficult to express, let alone reach.For me, music helps us entertain a lot of things simply because music holds memories. As I see it, music expresses feelings even if there are no words to it and it also raises our level of thinking about freedom. Howard Gardner even categorize our abilities to mete out notice and even produce music as part of ninefold human intelligences (Pfeifer & Scheier, 1999), which makes sense to say that it is crucial for human beings to have an ear for music. Doing so can broaden our mental horizons and enable us to apprise life even more.While my wife enjoys listening to the music of the Monkees, Carpenters, Beatles and Michael Jackson as much as I do, I still try to go beyond the sheer pleasure of listening to their music. I teach art and I try to incorporate music into my profession. As much as possible, I try to play music whenever I have m y art class so that my students will be able to express their feelings more whenever they hold their brushes and begin painting images with beautiful colors. The way I see it, music is so strong it can evoke our inner feelings and give us the inspiration to make stunning artworks.Because music can reorganize our emotions and our memories, music can push art students and artists to greater lengths. In general, music helps people unlock the rarely touched parts of their being (Grant, 2003, p. 173). I cannot imagine my life and my wifes life without music as it has already been an integral part of who we are. Music helps my wife and I remember a lot of things about our past and our culture. It also helps us appreciate our lives and our marriage better each day without having the need to force ourselves to listen to music.
