Hobbies & pursuits,Part-IX
Music
To begin with
it’s the Dictionary
that has it’s
take on the
word Music and
says ,”vocal or instrumental sounds (or both) combined in such a way as
to produce beauty of form, harmony, and expression of emotion. Well this
wasn’t the precise answer I
was looking for so I
had to sift
through go through
the pages of bygone times to
see how it
came in to being .
It started
out first when
the mankind discovered
the he could
whistle mimicking the sounds
of the winds which
often whistles when
it blows violently
with heavy gusts hearing
the sounds of
the winds whistling
man found he could
exactly mimic it the way
it should be. Later
he would use
the same sound
to shepherd or
herd around his
livestock or scare
some animals .And then
the others joined
him and when
they found out that
together it was
more pleasing to
the ears they
went on to mimic
other sounds and thankfully
the nature has
it all to itself in abundant offerings
so the mankind learnt slowly
and felt
entertained in doing
so mimicking sounds
of water beasts
birds so on and so
forth.
Music as
we know is
how one creates
sounds that are
pleasant and listenable and when
all of the
different sound that sound
harmonious and arranged
together you have
a fount of
music flowing that
not only is harmonious
rhythmic but also one’s expression of
jubilation which has a
touch of joyfulness
a certain mood
setting vibrato lifting of souls heavenwards with
a touch of
inner healing
What it
means is when
one is able to
create multiple sounds
in unison and
bring them all
together you have the music
coming out of
the means you
are using to create
one or many .
Culturally overtime man learned to innovatively use ideas to make strings, woodwind, brass, keyboards, and percussion types of instruments that helped reproduce various sounds that complimented the sentiments of the societies he came from or belonged to .Later the zeal for improvising those sounds took over and assortment of musical instruments found their way and came to be accepted widely all over the world . Mankind learnt that producing such melodies had its wide acceptance and people couldn’t help but immerse in to it .Then came performances where man learnt that one could move their body to the rhythm of music ,then came a stage when compositions followed thereafter and then mankind realized that arrangements of several different sounds brought about a combo where one could give their ears to and enjoy it blissfully.
The modern English word 'music' came into use in
the 1630s.
Music is played in public and private areas,
highlighted at events such as festivals, rock concerts, and orchestra performances, and heard incidentally as part of
a score or soundtrack to a film, TV show, opera, or video game. Musical playback is the primary function of an MP3 player or CD player and a universal feature of radios and smartphones.
Music often plays a key role in social activities, religious rituals, rite of passage ceremonies,
celebrations, and cultural activities.
The music industry includes songwriters, performers, sound engineers, producers, tour organizers, distributors of instruments, accessories, and sheet music. Compositions, performances, and recordings are assessed and evaluated by music critics, music journalists, and music scholars, as well as amateurs. If you think you have it in you then you do know it too well how this hobby and pursuit helps individuals in multitudinal ways and in case you haven’t already started learning music as yet now is the time to pick and dust off that guitar weeping gently in the corner which was your grandpa’s birthday gift to you but you never started playing learning back then . Smarten up cause it’s never too late to start and lay a foundation to be a successful musician of tomorrow . “Giddy up”! fellas as this pursuit has a lot to offer and it can’t simply be put down .So here goes
Creativity and
self-expression: It’s another art
form that has the
potential to motivate hobbyist to
be imaginative in firing
up his/her creative side in
varying shades of musical
colors to come
up with original
scores of
musical compositions accompanied
by lyrics . It often
happens the more
creative side delivers
something extraordinary and
that becomes a
chart topping hit
and everyone’s favorite
a chartbuster when the
imagination is tapped
to its peak reflecting hobbyist’s
personality and experiences.
Mental stimulation: It’s not hard to understand how music has the wondrous ability to leave you spell bound leaving you to stomp your feet or shake your body with the rhythm a bit because of its stimulating nature . You have your brain attuned your cognitive skills singing their joyful chorus and memory thanking you heartily for playing something melodious and lyrical.

Musical groups, bands, choirs, or making a head way to the rock concerts and festivals allow individuals to connect with like-minded people with similar interests. This sense of belonging and camaraderie leads to new friendships and a broader social network.
Emotional expression: Know Music to express emotions and feelings in a creative and cathartic way is what I say .Cause it’s easy to have it serve you with an outlet for stress, sadness, happiness, or any other emotion that you may be saddled with instead of running to a physician or a doctor . It’s the combination of both when you want to give a vent to all of that bothers you deep and profound just pick up your instrument and start playing singing writing songs .Let the Music not take a back seat in your life . Let it all out cause it does wonders and it has the promise of helping you out of your misery..
Stress reduction and relaxation.Listening to music calms your worked up senses down to a tranquistate .It helps mindand the bodyin turn.knocking off that stress word from your day today life promoting relaxation delivering it as afruit of joy for giving a listen to all things happy lilting and melodious .Playing an instrument or singing provides a therapeutic escape from daily worries, way ward chores of disinterest or those mud slung forced upon responsibilities in your life by someone.
Cultural appreciation and understanding: Exploring different genres of music exposes hobbyists to various cultures and traditions. It broadens their horizons, fosters empathy, and promotes a deeper understanding and appreciation of diversity and that’s music to me and all of us.
Subsequent to having heaped mounts of praises for this one of a kind hobby and pursuit I can’t help but sing nonstop chorus as to how music as a hobby and pursuit leaves a profound impact on individuals' well-being, fostering their personal growth, bringing overall happiness.
