There are many ways to tell a story. Throughout my life I’ve find this to be true. As a storyteller myself, I always try my best to utilize the many different approaches to telling a story. Whether through music, books, poetry, drawings, films, etc. I’ve tried them all. I’ve always been fascinated by other people's stories. I will always try to retell them myself. Most of the time I usually just talk about them. But once in awhile, I like to use what I think is the most powerful form of storytelling, music. Music has been part of my life for a while now. Throughout middle school and high school I was in both Band and Choir. And throughout these years I come to understand the power that music has with storytelling. Especially in films, I’ve grown up watching films and they have impacted my life greatly. The films, “Jesus Christ Super Star,” “La La Land,” and “The Grand Budapest Hotel” have a musical score that expresses a story better than any words could ever express.

Ludwig van Beethoven was beaten every day by his father. This was so Ludwig could become a prodigy just like Mozart. His father would deprive him of sleep so that Ludwig could get some extra rehearsal time. This man caused Beethoven to become a genius in music performance and composition. Imagine if he wasn’t made to learn about music. Since he is one of the greatest influential composers in music, his knowledge wouldn’t have been passed down through the generations. Students shouldn’t be forced to learn about music like Beethoven was, but they can choose to love it on their own.

Music can take me to a place where I am free from all stress and worry.

As time goes on, music preferences change and along with that, the way individuals consume music also changes.
