Love Of Music : My Love For Music

As a child growing up, I was always into art and music. I would draw on all my notebooks for school, often find myself lost in my own lyrical world, always looking up new artists to listen to and probably download over 40-50 songs a month, maybe more. Back then, I was just doing it for fun though until I was about nine or ten years old. My love for the harmonizing sounds went from a small crush to the love of my life. My dad and I was driving around the city that I will one day leave a mark in, the city of Jacksonville, when my dad put on the one song I will forever dedicate to changing my life, Find A Way by A Tribe Called Quest. Now understand that this was the first time I have ever heard this song and it put a flame in my soul, like my

Ever since I was a little kid I have always responded positively to music. It has consistently been my go to for personal expression. Whether it is listening or writing, I have always tended to gravitate towards different songs and rhythms as an emotional outlet. I believe some of my extended family is to thank for this way of thinking. My family on my Dad's side has always been very musically inclined. I remember as a young child I would go visit my grandparents in Louisiana, no matter what was going on I would usually end up in the back room where my Grandfather, “Papaw” kept all of his guitars and musical equipment. My Papaw is a fantastic, classically trained blues/ rock guitar player, and he never failed to show off his talents. For hours

"On those nights that I missed him most I listened to music" (Alexie 3086). Woven throughout Sherman Alexie 's work, "Because My Father Always Said He Was the Only Indian Who Saw Jimi Hendrix Play ‘The Star-Spangled Banner’ at Woodstock,” is the theme of music. Its presence is a faint drumbeat of life, felt throughout the piece. It not only accompanies moments of sorrow, such as when the narrator listens to music while he is longing for his father, but encompasses every variation of emotion available to man, and because of its extraordinary influence on the characters, it takes on human qualities. Through music 's multidimensional effect on characters and its personification, Alexie highlights music’s everyday influence in life, suggesting that it is inescapable and necessary to the human experience.

My music has helped me develop my life, by letting me learn a different language. Learning music started with my sister. She started out on flute. I swore up and down that I would never be in band. Music has helped me with stress. Band and the people in it have formed me into who I am today. Most music genres are soothing. I plan on being in marching

The concert, “Masterpieces by American Women Composers!,” was held in the Horace C. Cabe Great Hall Regional Arts Center. The concert was a semiformal event with about 30 people in attendance. The pianist who performed that night was Dr. Linda Holzer, who is a professor of music at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, and she performed on a baby grand piano. She is from Chicago and has many degrees in piano performance from three different University’s, the Northwestern University, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and Florida State University. Dr. Holzer has performed in many different countries including China, Slovakia, Australia, and New York. The pieces that Dr. Holzer performed that night

When I was about 12 years old, I began teaching myself how to play. As the years went on and I practiced in my room, I became a decent guitar player and singer. Eventually, I performed in front of my family, friends, church, and school. Music is something that I have a great appreciation for because of the power it has. Music can bring people together, fill a room with the strong Spirit of Christ, or simply help a person escape from the world he lives in for a little while.

The Musical Composition that has changed my life to how I see music is the song The Stroke from Billy Squier. I did not really know the meaning of the song, but it really Widened my Horizon in terms of music from only before listening to The Beatles, The Beach Boys, and The Monkeys. Then later being able to listen to Rush, AC/DC, Aerosmith And Other Really good rock bands that I still love today. Then I started collecting Records then I started collecting CDs, the first album I bought for myself is the majestic Black Sabbath Album “Paranoid” The album with the musical compositions Paranoid, Iron Man, War Pigs/Luke’s Wall, Planet Caravan, Rat Salad, Electric Funeral, And Fairies Wear Boots. This album was such an amazing introduction to Black

Music is my life when I was little my dad introduced me to all types of music. We listen to hip-hop, reggae, old school, country, and jazz. We believe that as long as it has a good beat and a message that what makes that a great song.Being that my dad is from New Jersey I have this Northern flavor to my lifestyle. It is truly present in my taste in music. Many people say that I'm a little weird when they listen to the type of music I listen too.

For a year, I danced to polka music every night. I was a preschool student at the time, and after a long day of coloring and napping, I would cut loose on the dance floor that was my living room. I would often put an expression of awe on our parents’ faces with the physical absurdities I was capable of. It felt as though every facet of my life as a toddler was brought together in these moments, and the music perfectly represented this phase of my childhood. I have since realized how powerful an effect music has on me, and how the music that I love always seems to define the stage in my life which it occupies.

Instead of attending a concert and writing a concert report, I decided to do the radio report. On April 24, 2007, I listened to the station WWOZ 90.7 FM from seven to eight p.m. It was hosted by Jivin Jean and Neal. The theme of that session was the 50's Rhythm and Blues. Because the Jazz Fest is approaching, they decided to feature some of the artists that would be performing. In which they varied from Percy Sledge to the Fister Sisters.

Bob Dylan’s iconic Highway 61 Revisited album of 1965 has no problem evoking powerful emotions and connecting to the lives of any ordinary person. His carefully placed lyrics along with appropriately corresponding tunes to each of the eleven songs’ lyrics, make the different musical pieces both catchy and heart piercing. Songs like “Like a Rolling Stone”, “Ballad of a Thin Man”, and “Just Like Tom Thumb’s Blues”, stand out by giving a message that concretely links the lyrics to my own experiences and emotions. While listening to every song, and reading each verse as they are beautifully sung, it is difficult not to feel as though Bob Dylan wrote these songs about you, and is in some way, reaching out to you to give advice on how to overcome

When I was younger my family would go on road trips for days. The only way my father would stay awake is having the music on blast. The worst part if he liked a song, he kept replaying it until we reached our destination. The song he kept replaying was “Rain over Me” (Perez, 2011) I can still remember him wiggling his fingers to imitate rain and singing “Let it rain over me, I’m rising so high out of my mind, so let it rain over me. “Listening to this song reminds me how there was wind crossing through my face and gave me that true feeling of being a human being. Music to my family are fun moments, even when my grandparents visit. Every time my grandpa would come over he would grab his cup of tea, sit back on his favorite couch and ask for us to play his favorite song “Despacito” (Fonsi, 2017). His favorite part, well the only part he knows how to sing, was “Despacito” and then saying O after every sentence. That song brought joy to my grandfather’s face and it gave us the true essences of

To begin with, when my dad died my music was my biggest outlet. Music is what keeps me calm and is my biggest motivation in life. When I am making music I feel like it’s my way out, it’s my peace, and nobody can change that. Sometimes it feels good to just be able to do certain things and have talents that other people don’t have, and that’s how I see music. My voice is great and I actually can rap so I have something everyone else do not have. Which is actual talent and I don’t mean to be cocky, but I

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..

People say that music has the ability to heal a person mentally and spiritually. But to me, music is much more than just healing. It is a way for me to escape this world called reality and enter a world with in my imagination through the different beats, harmony, and chorus. Only when listening to music, I can truly feel all my emotions with each song having the power to make me remember, from painful to happy memories. As I grew up to be the person I am today, my music journey also grows with me. Looking back at it now, I would never want to change a single thing.
