Emotion. Yes, it might be broad, but isn&#39;t that what music is anyway?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;I&#39;ll expand on my point...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Music can create emotion in seconds, whether it&#39;s the style, speed, notes, volume, or simply a memory that jumps into your head from a particular song.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;When you go to the gym, the music played there usually has pumping bass, is upbeat, and may be 3 or 4 minutes long per track. The reason? So it creates motivation and energises the listener!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;This is just one example of how music can work in the right environment, and there are countless other examples, such as ballads, rock anthems, reggae, drum and bass and metal. I&#39;m sure you can think of situations where these music styles would be perfect!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;So what is music? I suppose I could expand on my definition now. Music is love, hate, experience, happiness, sadness, and most importantly...anything you want it to be!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;This is where you get involved. What&#39;s the happiest memory you have related to music? It could be anything, whether playing it, listening to it, or whatever! Why not share and get others involved? It would be great to hear your thoughts.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Until the next post, Adios!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ash-greenway.blogspot.com/feeds/3357830961499568406/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://ash-greenway.blogspot.com/2016/02/what-is-music.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5117043443380853423/posts/default/3357830961499568406'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5117043443380853423/posts/default/3357830961499568406'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ash-greenway.blogspot.com/2016/02/what-is-music.html' title='What is music?'/><author><name>Ash Greenway</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13124499842720745326</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
