Music seems to be a natural need for people. I've read that from ancient times humanbeings have produced sounds from “instrument” like rocks or skins stretched over a woodenframe. Music is something most people want and need. I think it's important because it canbe a major part of both community and individual experience.
Music is a way of sharing a common bond or feeling. When we're children, we learn verysimple songs called nursery rhymes. These songs help make us part of our culture by telling uswhat's acceptable and what's not. We play and sing music in our religious ceremoniesbecause it enhances the worship experience. We play music when we're going to war orcelebrating the fact that we're won a war.
We have national anthems to share our love and pride for our particular country. We havemusic we play for our school, and music we play for our athletic team. In fact, music hasbecome a big part of athletic games. We use it to taunt the other team as well as celebratewhen points are scored for our team.
Music is also a major part of individual experiences. When we fall in love, music is usually apart of that experience. People talk about having “our song.” That means the song that wasplaying when they met or a song they both liked when they fell in love. When we get married,we play music before and after and sometimes during the ceremony. It expresses how we feel.
We play music to calm our nerves or to stimulate ourselves to get on with a task. We also playmusic for the simple enjoyment of listening to the sounds.
Music is special to us because it expresses our connection with our culture, and because itenhance our individual experiences. Nothing else seems to capture our feelings quite so well.
