Music has power. It can calm us, stir us and lift our spirits. It can express both our joys and our sorrows. Common to virtually all cultures, past and present. Music is a language of both the mind and the heart. Yes, music truly is a gift from God. From the time we were born, we likely heard some form of music. Perhaps our mother sang lullabies to help us fall asleep. During our teenage years, we may have developed a fondness for music that stirred our heart. Even as adults, many of us enjoy relaxing music while driving or at home, at the end of a busy day. The lyrics of a song may embody certain aspects of a country's culture of history.
All of us can make music by means of our voice. Thanks to the versatility of this built-in instrument, nearly everyone can make music, to some extent, with or without other instruments. All you have to do is open your mouth and sing. When you do, do not pay attention whether or not your singing voice will win you and prizes or cheers. If you practice, you should improve. The voice is directly in contact with the seat from which our deepest emotions spring, and it is the most efficient instrument for expressing them. Singing is exciting and I would recommend that anyone who feels like expressing himself or herself, to do so freely and spontaneously. Because music can have a powerful influence on the heart, we should be selective. Beautiful melodies, for instance, may sugarcoat ugly lyrics that make light of or even promote hatred, immorality or even violence. Our choices of music is no minor matter. Let us all enjoy music and all of it's many forms!
