Why studying music crucial in our lives – especially today.

I know this heading for a blog entry seems a little fancy, and maybe somewhat  pretentious…but coming home after teaching quite a few hours everyday, to different people, in different manners, I remain, still and always in awe, when i see the impact good music has on people.

Being a recorder teacher and player I have the chance to work with very young children viagrasansordonnancefr.com at a very basic stage. Usually I get this fantastic opportunity to make, with them, their first steps in this fascinating world, walking hand in hand with them on this new road leading to infinity.

We live in a strange world today – in which everything comes fast and goes away fast. Our food cooks within seconds, we get to places kilometers away from our house in a very short time (ok, not at rush hour), we move from one activity to the other in no time, we drown in information that is thrown at us from every direction…and life is becoming quick and in a way worthless..since everything comes and goes.  And if everything is of such short value – maybe us too?

So, when we teach music, we allow little children to

meet a world which has it’s own time – because music is an art form which relys upon time, needs time, is coherent only if you listen and allow the piece to unfold infront of you…one cannot hasten music – one cannot look quickly at the last page to know what was the conclusion…music is not about the ending – music is about the process…

I find myself playing for these internet oriented children, little people who were born into this world of instanity – or, if I may, insanity – and I see how every muscle in their body relaxes, how their eyes are fixed upon me, and their ears seek the next sound…

I cannot tadalafil avis help feeling that music, and complex music, the one that operates the senses, the passions and the brain, reunites us, reunites them with what this fast world makes https://www.viagrasansordonnancefr.com/ us yearn for – stability, solidity, lastingness, balance…

so, studying music is crucial for our inner need of feeling that something out there is worth waiting for – and giving time to – and if there is, maybe it is us?

    What a beautiful thought and how lucky are these children to have such a sensitive, and talented teacher! How many are there who, like me (now 70), had dreadful experiences as youngsters with coarse, unthinking and insensitive teachers and gave it up. Too many, for ever. In my retirement, after a career teaching music, I hope not as I was taught, I have begun the journey again with recorders. In many ways this is a return to childhood but a joyful one tempered, I hope, with a measure of wisdom. Thanks for your blog, Drora. Cheers, Peter.

    Beautiful.

    What do you mean by “complex music”? How do you define music which “operates the senses” as opposed to such that does not?

    I myself find that human relationships – positive, satisfying human relationships is the best and most significant experience of all.
    In this fast-going and pressuring world, having relaxed and affectionate relationships is the haven that replenishes our inner resources.

    Art, in all its forms, or for that matter science or any technical or artistic hoby, or a stroll in beautiful nature or in the city, or shopping! All that is either an interesting intellectual game, and also emotinally satisfying, or an interesting way to spend time, but there is nothing like the still natural experience of being in a good contact with friends.

    Hi Drora
    I’m a ‘lurker’ on the Yahoo Recorder List, so I read everything but don’t feel I need to add my few cents to it all. This blog was wonderful!! I’m not a musician by training (I taught people how to speak better, whether it was because they had problems in their own language or because they needed to learn another language correctly) but I’m an avid recorder player, and have been for more than 40 years. Your take on music is right on. Playing the recorder (making music) has made a huge difference in my life and I only wish I had come to it earlier. Everyone should have the luck to have a teacher like you in their life!!
