ife without music is like fasting for a teen – boring, painful, and dull. Every morning I wake up to music filling my dreams until I realize that the wonderful melody is coming from my alarm telling me to get going. That’s not only where this wonderful gift fits into my day. Several minutes later, I take a shower with the radio cranked, but unfortunately my voice doesn’t flow to the song as well. In the car ride to school, again music and again I sing (too bad for my neighbors!). To make school worth living, there’s band – a time to let the mind wander, a time to relax and put my music skills to test. Thankfully I play better than I sing! Besides my music life, think about yours. Your cell phone goes off and what do you hear – music. A parade with the melodious sounds, but then it’s taken away and the parade comes to a rest. Without the joy of music, there’s no point in life, unless life to you is no sound at all.” – M.
