Music Connection

     I believe and will be writing about how music can enhance human connections, because that’s how I connect with other people. Music is a big part of my life and it is to so many people around the globe as well. Music brightens up my day or darkens my day just by what song I listen to; music controls my emotion. I can’t go through a day without listening to at least some music. It connects people because music is therapy for a lot of people.  Like me, there are people using music as therapy, to keep their moods in control. When music is created, it will be heard by SOMEONE.

    Music is very connected with social-media because we all use the internet to find and download music. We come together to find our favorite artist and make comments about them and give our opinions on things like Facebook and twitter because they let you share music and our thoughts on that music. Music is powerful, is can control emotion and thus control crowds of people like at concerts. A nice, pop concert is going to have an upbeat cheerful environment, but a metal, scream-o, hard-core concert is going to get people mad and get their adrenaline going.

    Music also brings people together because it takes some people to make music, sometimes one person can do it alone, but mostly it takes a team to make such amazing instrumental pieces. Orchestras are a great example of a large amounts of people coming together to make beautiful music, individually those people might sound good but when orchestras come together they can make a piece much more epic and inspiring. The most beautiful violin player could still be good at playing alone, but it’s best to help the violin player sound way better with other instruments in the background to help it out.

    Music helps human connection because it brings people together to make the world sound a whole lot better.
