Why Is Music Important?

It is important to many people because of several reasons. First, music expresses emotion. It could say what the words could not. For example, we sing or listen to the music when we are sad, happy, angry, etc. It does not matter if we could not sing well or play it better as long as we could enjoy the music. Music could bring freedom and hope. Second, music as a universal language could unify people from various countries. When people listen to music, it does not matter if they do not understand its language. They will understand the music, the emotion beneath it, and how it touches their soul. Music breaks any barriers between cultures or languages. Third, music is a part of our lives. It is something that we cannot ignore. From birth, marriage, and until death, music will always be a part of it. We sing when we celebrate something, whether if it is a birthday, in a wedding or in someone’s funeral. It is in our cultures and our tradition.
