When you pick up an instrument, weather it be a guitar, bass, flute, cello, or anything else what do you feel? When you pluck the string of your mandolin or hit the bass drum of your drum set with your feet do you understand that you are creating something? Do you realize that what you are doing is making music, and beats for people to either fall asleep to or dance to. The power to create something so magical comes with practice and discipline. There are many ways to create something. You can do it by hand, in your mind, or with your mouth. You can make something from scratch, create a theory or hypothesis, or make a story for people to enjoy and listen to. With me, I like to use all three. When someone writes a song they are using their mind to think of the sound and the lyrics, their hands to create the music itself, and their mouths to add the final touches to the composed work of art. When you create something that is personally yours than it means something. You are creating life and something that can either calm people down or make them angry, upset, or sad. Music is used in many societies and in different ways. Every song is different and every technique is different from everyone else's. making music is a passion and it will never die, because somewhere out there is a person who is playing music right now, either a live show or just for them to hear. Music is personal and whatever instrument(s) you pick you will feel a close bond with it. Its like riding a bike, you never forget how. You will remember it for the rest of your life, and hopefully will be able to master the craft that you have chosen. Trust me pick up an instrument and take some time to learn how to play it, its worth it in the end.
