My Friend Asked Me: What Is Music?

[BobInIdaho]

My first thought is that music is the communication of emotion over time. A painting can convey emotion but it is a small slice of time. We don't see it develop. Music takes time to play out. You can go through many emotions. So, what is music?

Music is a big part of  many people's daily lives. We listen to it when we commute, at the office, when we exercise, and even when we are relaxing at home. Music can enrich our lives and make life easier. Music has been around for thousands of years, but the exact definition of music is still debatable. The history of music can be traced back to prehistoric times when people clapped their hands or sang along with natural sounds and rhythms.

Hey, This question has many forms of answers as music has its wave in each person's life. Depending upon the situation the level of music will also change. In my case, I am working as a Nanny Consultant (here) in Dubai. I and my friends usually spend our leisure time to music and making ourselves relaxed from any other problems. Music has the power to change the emotion of each person.
