A world without music would be void and null, an epitome of boredom, and an adventure of endless prayers.
Music can be define as a sound not just any sound but a pleasing sound to the ear, it could also be a guide to playing a particular tune.
Music to a child would be a lullaby to rock her to that sweet sleep he/she had been longing for.
Music should be embraced and admitted in the society, it should be use as a medium to communicate, treat, and even taught in classrooms.
Music lovers should keep on loving it and the haters should stop hating and castigating it, if only they know its potency then they would embrace it too.
It cannot be proven that two people can feel the exact same thing from hearing a piece of music. For example, early missionaries to Africa thought that the nationals had bad rhythm. The missionaries said that when the nationals played on their drums it sounded like they were not beating in time. However, it was later discovered that the nationals were beating out complex polyrhythmic beats such as 2 against 3, 3 against 4, and 2 against 3 and 5, etc. These beats were too advanced for the missionaries to follow.
Speech and music have a number of shared processing systems. Musical experiences which enhance processing can therefore impact on the perception of language which in turn impacts on learning to read. Active engagement with music sharpens the brain’s early encoding of linguistic sound. Eight year old children with just 8 weeks of musical training showed improvement in perceptual cognition compared with controls.
Learning to play an instrument enhances the ability to remember words through enlargement of the left cranial temporal regions. Musically trained participants remembered 17% more verbal information that those without musical training.
Learning an instrument has an impact on intellectual development, particularly spatial reasoning. A review of 15 studies found a ‘strong and reliable’ relationship, the author likening the differences to one inch in height or about 84 points on standardised school tests. A study contrasting the impact of music lessons (standard keyboard, Kodaly voice) with drama or no lessons found that the music groups had reliably larger increases in IQ. Children in the control groups had average increases of 4.3 points while the music groups had increases of 7 points. On all but 2 of the 12 subtests the music group had larger increases than control groups.
Opera
organizers cannot send an invitation to an American rap-group, what do you
want them to say or sing?
They want music real music with eccentric lyrics and vocal cords, they don't need bunch of talkative that do not know their lyrics from lyrics, they just wake up one morning and start talking telling the world that they are singing.
Music should be listened and adorned with such carefulness and praise, music in India is considered to be sacred and mystical because the lyrics are so possessive and fetish.
In a case study on
music production in Kogi state, it was discovered that record labels
and music producers would rather pick an artiste from another state but to pick
from Kogi would be like you picking your kola-nut from a muddy water, but these
producers are wrong because just there are lots of raw talents in Kogi state, I
am not saying these because I am an indigene but because I am sad and unhappy
about the whole bias and partiality of these music producers, if they want
music and real tunes then I am telling them this from the bottom of my heart to
please stop castigating and making the people of Kogi to feel bad, it isn't
fair, it is an act of ungodly prefix.
My final draw on all this will be the acceptance and embracement of music, because it will not only benefit us in some ways but also make us to know the true meaning of it.
