Question

To me, music is food and water. I can’t live without it. I know this is not true for everybody. Many people don’t listen to music and they can get along quite well. But music is everywhere in our life. For example, when you watch films or TV plays, do you find them interesting if there is no music? You would find them boring. And when you are waiting for the train or the plane, you would like music because it makes the time seem shorter.

It is true that music is everywhere in our life. Some people like to sit by the sea and listen to the sound of the sea. Some enjoy listening to the singing of birds. Those sounds are some kinds of music.  So music has meaning for everyone in some way or other. Of course, it has special meaning for people like me. We spend our lives playing or writing music.

Someone said, “Through music, a child goes into a world of beauty, learns to take care of others and makes his mind and body strong.” Music is an important part of our lives.
