I believe music can bring people together no matter what age or culture they are from. I enjoy talking to others from different cultures and discuss their music interests. It's universal whether you are singing or playing an instrument. Even without vocals, emotion can be translated through the music alone. The video I attached is a great example from the random people participating in playing to the spectators enjoying the music. It can motivate me, make me happy or sad, or it can calm me down.

I believe music is crucial to the human experience. In the words of the Barbie movie recently released, being a human can be very uncomfortable. In my eyes, music eases and heals the pain that comes with this experience. It can empower, help with depression and sadness, heighten the feelings of euphoria and happiness, and even bring people together. Certain notes can encourage emotions that may be needed to work through traumas. Music is what keeps me going and gives me purpose in this life. I am a singer/songwriter and sometimes I feel that my piano is my best friend. I don't know what I'd do without it!

Music has been with me my entire life. Every song is a story meant for someone, whether that be you, your friends, or some fictional character in your head. I believe that music is something that can bring even enemies together. Without music, my life would be a lot blander and less colorful.

Music is a way for people to express themselves as well as connect with other people everywhere. For me, it's all about the enjoyment factor, and Tom and Jerry is one of the earliest memories I have when it comes to music. Zero dialogue for most of the show, just music to do the heavy lifting.

To me, music is one of the ways in which we can express the voice and longing of the soul. I also view it as an expressive emotional force, sculpted by not just feelings, but notes, sounds, and rhythm. We must achieve a certain degree of technicality in it to play what and how we want to, but rules are variant depending on the style of music (although music theory is pretty much universal!)

Music is part of the soundtrack of life.
Music reaches places that can't be known only through images and words. Music organizes harmonic relationships against the never-ending timeline of life.

Here's a brief video which show-cases my love of music, as you can see by all the virtual instruments littered in my garage.

I have used these instruments with my family and friends to create many memories over the years, because music is a connective, transcendental force in my eyes, and they are just one example of how I express these view-points.

In terms of this video answering the question "what does music mean to me?" It means spending valuable time with family and friends. It means taking a much-needed load off and releasing emotions after a long day at work. And, for one thing, music as a whole has taught me more than I could ever give it credit for.

** I apologize, I should have put all that in the video, but I recorded it on the fly. Also, please excuse the awful quality, I filmed this with a 12-year-old camcorder under terrible lighting conditions. ;) **
