Education, Music, And Of Course, Inspiration
There are plenty of people who look at music like an enjoyable way to pass the time. There are others that reflect upon music in its truest art form. They can’t be without it and they don’t respond quite the same way to anything else the way they respond to music. Most believe the thoughts, emotions, and desires expressed in this way are just something that you’re either born with or without.
Of course, whether you opt for the piano or the Fender acoustic electric guitar isn’t really relevant to the passion. The intricacies of the Ibanez electric guitar are more important than the look of any black electric guitar. The strings of a violin or the wail of a sax can all play a role in the spiritual need to move through the music.
Is there an unnatural driving force that pushes musicians forward? Is there a need to bury oneself deep into musical endeavors in order to avoid dealing with the issues of life? Or is it closer to understanding that musicians of today and musical prodigies of tomorrow are all on the same page. They just want to be inspired, live inspired, and create inspiration. When you hear the raw and powerful talent of just one special performer you know in your heart that music is just as much a part of this world as math or technology. Yet math geniuses are not looked at as though they have flighty dreams and are not patronized when they fill their heads with ideas.
There is something very raw and natural in the sounds of the street musician just as there is something raw and powerful of performing artist with unlimited fans. They invite you to share in their passion. Yet so often they were patronized, with a shuffle of the hair, when they lit their musical dreams.
Most of us can feel inspired by music. Some of us feel as thought creating the music that inspires us is akin to feeling like we are part of the necessary inner workings that make the world go around. It can be that important. Of course, you may not find that we can always express it like that. We just seem a bit obsessive.
Unfortunately, it takes a certain amount of financial investment to really learn the mastery of any given instrument. The actual instrument is not cheap and neither are the lessons that are often necessary. When you invest in a potential musician, you invest in the world. At least that’s what ‘they’ say. The investment in the musician can lead to wonderful and unexpected things. This can include a higher understanding of math, science, and reading comprehension.
The universal language of music has spoken and too many dreams have been shut down. Impractical dreams are not ours to judge. When we take music out of schools we shut down the passion that drives a child forward, away from the negative influences of life, and straight toward their own set of stars.
