“Music in America reflects the
ideals of a country that has built itself on a foundation of freedom and
cultural diversity. From the drums of the battlefields to the beat in the
nightclubs, music has become the essential lifeblood of the American soul. New
music genres continue to open doors for artists all over the world, and as you
might expect, America welcomes the diversity with open arms.”
Music has been the one constant thing that has been in my
life and helped me through many negative and positive situations. It makes me
happy, it keeps me positive and soothes my soul. “I believe in the music, the
same way some people believe in fairytales” Music is what makes me feel alive.
The beats run through my veins, the harmonies are comforting and make me feel
like nothing else matters as long as I am listening to the sounds.
When was the last time you went anywhere and did not hear
music? Music is on at the grocery store, gym, restaurants, hair salons, its in
our favorite movies and shows. Music is played to relax customers, there are
psychological affects associated with playing music at stores. Customers who
hear music seem to be happier and therefore are more inclined to spend money, when
in a good mood. Employees are more motivated and work better when music is
being played.
As far I can remember music has always been an influence in
my life, from signing in the school choirs, to playing the saxophone, and
clarinet for the school band. My family all loves music with an array of
different genres; it depended on who got to the radio first. On any given day
there could be Mary J Blige, ZZ Top, Bob Marley, or Reba McIntyre.
