music general

I am supposed to give a presentation to my class about music. And i just want to know.. why do you like music? what does music do for you?

It makes me happy when I need to be happy, it makes me sad when I need to be sad and it makes my whole body quiver and shake and bounce when it gets too loud and feels too good!

Yeah, thats kinda what music does for me!!!

Like sex in other words? hehe

You are happy when you get it, sad when you dont get or if its bad, and it makes you body quiver and shake if its of the best quality hehe

Hopefully you wont get offended

Good question. Personally, I find music helps me to 'lose myself'. If something is troubling me or if I'm just feeling jaded and tired of everyday stuff, I can start to do scales or watch one of Andrew's lessons and I leave all the humdrum stuff behind for a while. It helps to clear my mind. It helps me to realise that there are many fulfilling creative possibilities out there. I suppose it fills me with some optimism.

Hahaha! Thomas, that was exactly what I had in mind while writing it!!! Just didnt want it to be THAT obvious....

I think one of the things that has gotten me so addicted to piano is the "solving" of new pieces. That is, learning how to memorize and play them, and sort of solving each piece like it was a puzzle. And the reward for solving each puzzle is being able to make the music come out of it!
