Music has a distinct advantage over all other disciplines.
It has no language and no borders. Music is a universal language, it has the ability to unite the world.
What better way to express yourself than through music?
And these expressions vary from joy to pain, from victory to defeat, from the love of life to the loss of a loved one.
Yes, music has its own beauty
And speaking of beauty, we are reminded of the words of Yehudi Menuhin: 'As far as I can remember, I have tried to link the beauty of great music to the harmony of life'.
I still remember my years in a boarding school where before going to sleep we had a musical bedtime, followed in the morning by a musical awakening. We ate more classical music than we could drink.
At bedtime, it allowed us to sleep peacefully, and when we woke up, we were transported to a better day.
I have always felt that music makes the world kind and I am sure kindness has been described in many ways. It is the poetry of the heart, the music of the world.
We must recognize that the first music was classical, but this one has no words. It is only later that singers have added words, phrases, poetry to a music of the time. And so, we went from opera to Rock n Roll
And speaking of opera, there is this sentence so rich in meaning from none other than Giacomo Pucini: ''The music of this opera (Madame Butterfly) was dictated to me by God; I was only instrumental in putting it on paper and communicating it to the public''
And with regard to the Rock n Roll, it is necessary to say that the Sixties intoxicated a whole youth, making that his generation adored this music until our days.
And who wouldn't enjoy a candlelight dinner with soft music and dancing?
I'm sure you'll agree that music has been and still is the perfect catalyst for couples to get married and spend their lives remembering that one piece of music they heard when they met.
It was Charlie Parker who said that "music is our own experience, our thoughts, our wisdom. If you don't live it, it won't come out of your noggin.
Nowadays, the world associates music with a particular singer and there is no doubt that the most famous of them is John Lennon because of his message of love.
