What Music Means to Me
What is music? This question is almost mind boggling to me because you can't really define what music is. Music, I feel, is such a personal thing that everyone has their own interpretation of it. Me personally, I think that music is such a powerful thing that it can bring a whole community together. An example being choir, which is one of my main focuses on music.
Music, especially in school, is a whole class and educational experience on it's own. In choir, you learn to read music, to work as a team, and to build friendships. Being in choir was/is one of the most amazing experiences in my life and I truly believe it's what got me through high school. Choir was one of those classes that I didn't mind getting up at 5:30 in the morning to be in. There was a chamber choir, audition only, that was before school started at 6:55 in the morning. Even though some mornings it would've been easier to sleep in, music was my motivation to get up and go to school early.
What makes up a choir? Of course, the students enrolled in choir, but I believe the glue that stuck us all together was our fabulous choir teacher. She taught me more about music than I could have ever imagined. She didn't just teach me how to read music and how to sing, but how to truly appreciate music. She's one of the main reasons I have such a passion for singing. Without singing, I feel like their would be an empty void in my life. It's almost like breathing to me, I have to do it to live.
