My philosophy of music (rough draft)

[kelddath]

 On a day to day basis, people are challenged to maintain logical and emotional balance.  We strive to overcome challenges in both our professional and personal lives.  We must also possess patience and understanding for those who struggle with such challenges; show compassion over selfish disregard.

I really love what you wrote! Especially the last three sentences - very well put.

For me, the more I understand music, the more I understand life in general. For instance, I'm currently prepping the first movement of Beethoven's Emperor concerto for a performance, and the more I dig and try to make sense of it on an emotional level, the more it gives back to me. Music is a strange and amazing vehicle for both self-expression and self-discovery. I can't imagine my life without it.

I like what you have to say. Here are some thoughts that pertain to how I see music. Maybe you can use them or expand on them. I hope they inspire or help your essay in some way. If not, that's fine too

Thank you for such a thought out reply!

I'm starting to think I need a good definition of music itself. Depending on what it is may drastically change my philosophy.

It's an ongoing search for me...
