To love music can mean many different things to many different people. Some may find it as a useful escape and some may find it as a form of expression, a form of creativity and art. To make music means so much to certain people and to appreciate music brings an overwhelming state of emotions, all are good. Music to many people is very symbolic, messages, stories, and even history are told through the power of music and that is why it means so much to so many people. Ever since I could talk I remember trying to sing along with every song on the radio, even if it was inappropriate, I didn’t know the difference. As my love for music evolved, I realized that there had to be people who ACTUALLY made it, it wasn’t just something that appeared. I was at a summer camp one summer day in Berkeley, I saw this man with an accordion present to us about what he did. How he made a living off of this instrument that looked like a piano mixed with a vacuum cleaner and was automatically interested. I got in my mom's car that day and immediately told her about this man and this instrument. For years after this moment I was so invested in music and how it worked, having no idea that it was a lot more than just do, re, mi. To many, music is what they hear through their headphones, they might not understand what a time or key signature is, but they understand the emotions music can make one feel. They understand the lyrics, which generally means that that musician has succeeded with their work. Music surely has affected every single person on the face of the earth whether it was just to help understand how they feel or the most important role of a party that turned out to be the best night of someone's life. Music is the underlying glue in many different people's lives, shaping how everyone lives.
