Music also means anything pleasant to hear. Loud sounds are not considered as music; instead, they are classified as noise. Music does not irritate one’s ear. It gives us a nice feeling and enables us to forget our problems in some ways. Music has long been used to help people deal with their emotions. It is sort of a remedy against despair and sadness.  It makes a melancholy man happy, a blooming man more in love and a religious man more devout.

Music is not only shown through singing, it can also be shown through performances such as playing musical instruments and dancing. Music actually depends on the style of the person and the feeling he puts into music. There are persons who love to sing. There are those who are interested in playing musical instruments such as guitar, piano, violin, banduria and the like. And there are also people who love dancing. All of these has its own approach and has its own kind.

Music is also classified according to style. It can be a classical music, jazz, disco, modern, pop or slow rock. A person’s interest in music depends on the kind of person he is. The younger generation usually loves to listen to modern, disco and pop music, while the older generation prefers slow and classical music.  Our love for music is not taught or learned.  It comes from within. Music is a magic. It just comes naturally and freely to a certain individual. We need not go to school and spend a lot of money just to learn music. However, if we want, we can enhance our love for music through enrolling to a music school. And there, we will be taught on the different techniques and how to be a skilled musician.

Music changes through time. Its composition depends on how a composer or an artist wants it to be. Music is therefore, composed and performed for many purposes. May it be just for fun or pleasure or for a certain social activity like birthday celebration, debut or any party, religious or ceremonial activity like weddings or ordination and the like, while some music is composed for performances like concerts and opera.

Music is shown through different forms of media. Nowadays, we have the so called iPods, mp3 players, cd’s and even in computers, and we can already download music through limewire or iTunes. The world is changing. And as it changes, people discover new things, new ideas and new innovations. For as long as we are alive, music will always be a part of us. Music is never ending and always gives meaning to our life.
