Music, eventhough it’s not more important than school subjects like Math, Science, English or else, it holds an important role to play in this life.

For me, the music itself has so many different meanings. Music can be a way to communicate with people. In a jam session, the players are like talking to each other through music to create a harmony, they create a “connection” with other player by sending a melody, through rhythm and lyrics, and the other player reply it with another “answer”, so together they create something to be shared with the audience, to be enjoyed.
Some people play music for their own enjoyment. Some people listen to music in the middle of their relaxation. What can set off our mind from everything tiring in our daily works, is music. Once you feel bored, tired, when you are down and oh your soul so heavy, when troubles come and your heart burdened be, you just take a deep breath and set your iPod on your favorite and relaxing song/playlist. Then in a while you’ll feel a different sensation because the music comes into your heart and your mind and your conscience and helps you release all unhappy thoughts or feelings and tiring things. (See? Music is also help me to get the precise words to be written on here! :-P)

Music helps people with their life, helps people to get money, helps people to reach welfare and their own excitement. Some people use music as their primary needs. Composers, as example. They NEED music. They create music, they compose melodies, they write lyrics, they build harmony, and mix them all together to a song which will be heard by people, which will be appreciated by people. And they make people happy, they make people enjoyed their music, they let people know what’s in their mind, they share with people and they paint thousands of smile on everbody’s face with music’s magic.
Not only for composers, nowadays there are so many youngsters who try to get more money by music, by being a part-time singer in a cafe, or be an additional player in a band, or even they make their own songs and sell it to the public and they get extra money from there. Now it’s not really hard to make a song. All you need is creativity, ideas and courage. No need to feel afraid and shy, eventhough your music is not as good as someone else’s music, but if you trust in yourself well maybe you’ll get luck. :-D

How about art? Not so much different with music, well music is art. They both work together and can be a media for us to express our feelings. A musician, they pour their thoughts, their things, their minds to their song, to their lyrics, to their improvisation. Artist, they share it all on a blank canvas. They paint, they make sculpture, they put them all in their art. Some artists are unpredictable. What made Picasso paint weird shapes, weird faces, awkward paints, something that don’t seems very good for some people. But in the different side, he’s now one of the best artist in the world. What was in Leonardo Da Vinci’s mind when he painted Monalisa? What makes Monalisa’s smile the best smile in the world? What was he thinking? What was he imagining? So many questions, so many answers, so many thoughts. Art can be so mysterious.

Like I said before, music has a special role to play. Music fill a special spot in human’s life, fill a different space, and has its own importance. Music can improves the way we think. Like jazz, as example. Some people say that “Jazz is hard, jazz is difficult, jazz is complicated! There’s no way for people to learn it easily!”, well I cannot say that it’s NOT true, because I play jazz, though, and the proccess is tough, long, tiring, and BORING, indeed! But when I finished learning a song, and then I play it in front of people, in a jam session with great jazz players, I felt so happy, and so proud, and so delightful.There aren’t many kids like me who want to learn jazz seriously, because it is hard, it is. It’s not as easy as listening to it. But that’s what’s interesting! How come there are so much great jazz players in the world? No, in Indonesia? And they seems very happy because they can play jazz! What’s in the long and winding road here? What’s in the proccess? What’s in the way? Jazz challenges people. Jazz needs skill, patience, motivations, wills. It’s tiring, but it builds character. You gotta be tough, firm and strong. That’s what music told us. That’s what music taught us. Taught me.

Music is everything to me. Music is me. Music is a part of my life that I cannot let go. Music have been saying so much precious words to me. Music is what I love. Music is what I want to live for :-)
