The Beat of a Drum, The Heart of the Music

Music has been around for as long as mankind. Music can be beautiful, hard driven, annoying, soft, loud, moving, emotional, sad, joyful, and forgiving. What is it about music that can incite such a range of emotions?

Music has evolved into a medium that can convey emotions like no other. Music can open your mind, soul and heart in so many ways. Music is to the ears what books are to the eyes. Limitless, informative, creative, and heart tugging. All through history, cultures have used music to celebrate, to grieve, and to express love.

No matter what kind of music you enjoy, and most people enjoy more than one type, most listeners agree that they love music. Maybe they can’t say exactly what they love about it, but they like the way it makes them feel. They like the beat, the rhythm, the words, the harmony, the guitar rift, or drum solo.

Music has actually even saved lives. Young people have found their niche in music and it became their desired profession. Rockers like Eric Clapton and John Lennon grew up and fell in love with rock and roll and were happy only when they were playing or making music.
