A normal definition of music has to do with playing some notes at a certain pitch in a rhythm at certain times making a melody, which makes songs, which is music. For me, music is a little too broad to define since I know that it comes through many platforms online and out in the real world and uses different instruments and sounds and layers to make songs. I mostly enjoy the layers that music has to offer, especially through classical music since they are always many "voices" to listen to through the instruments. I love to note which instruments are playing the melody, the counter-melody, "talking" back and forth, and so on. These are the kinds of things that get stuck in my head over and over again as ear worms, but I find  them less annoying than repetitive pop culture songs since I can play over whole movements  and symphonies in my head.

So this is a picture of ThePianoGuys and I'd like to believe that they have redefined classical and pop  music. The players here have made the song "What Makes You Beautiful" by One Direction and have turned it into a one-instrument, five-player piece.  They have also done other mashups of pop and contemporary music on their channel ThePianoGuys.

This piece is an arrangement of Rimsky-Korsakov's work and I find the song to be so adorable. It's a weird way to describe music but once again, the composer did a good job at conveying his message of airiness and lightness since the music is supposed to reflect fairies. The tapspace website is also a great place to listen to percussion solos and ensembles if you're into that.

Playing music in real time however, is also a whole new definition of music for me since it involves so much more emotions and hard work. It makes a song much more memorable when you actually know where your part fits in as a whole in a piece, or how complex a solo piece is when you take painstaking measures to learn how to perfect your piece.

This is a great example of a piece with a lot of layers i.e instruments. This song also makes me really happy, which means that Holst, the composer, did his job correctly. Plus this video looks really cool

Jupiter, from The Planets, by Gustav Holst, accompanied by a graphical score. FAQ Q: What do the colors mean? A: In this video, color is assigned according to pitch; the system is described here: http://www.musanim.com/mam/pfifth.htm As a result, changes in tonality can be seen as changes in the palette of colors (for example, notice the change at 0:28, or at 2:49, or 5:27, or 6:48, or 6:55, or 7:34).

This is me playing a piece for a recital called "Nocturnal Dances" by Jesse Monkman. It took me about 2 months to learn and perfect the piece and make the song my own since everyone plays solos differently. I don't have a video of me playing the piece but you could look it up on youtube if interested.

I'm sure everyone can relate to having their music as being an escape point, (un)fortunately for me it's really nice to forget what I'm doing since I follow along in familiar pieces, or learn the piece note by note. I say unfortunate because sometimes this happens while I do homework.
