Musica

     What is the number one thing people can relate to in any situation? Music of course. Music is a very important aspect of all life. From a crickets creek, to a humming beards flutter, from the banging of the drums, to the sound waves of the trumpet; music is everywhere! 

     When someone hears a certain song, their whole mood can change. Not for everyone but for most people. Music influences a lot of people in today's culture. An example is the rap songs about science, math, and other school subjects. Listening to the music students enjoy, about a school subject, secretly teaches the children about that subject. The children focus on the beat but eventually learn the words. And when they learn the words, they know how to complete a certain task in school. We all know that learning is a big part of life. This example shows that music makes learning fun!

     A lot would argue that music does not effect the deaf, but indeed it does. No, they cannot hear the words, yet a musical tone creates a mood for the deaf community. For instance, if the beat is really fast and hard, the deaf boy/girl can infer it is an angry or sad song. If the musical tone is light and the base is really calm, they can infer the song is sweet and comforting. A deaf individual learns to use their other senses more often, right? So their way of listening to music is by feeling the speakers. Feeling the sound waves through the tips of their fingers. Feeling the beat. 

     This is why music is essential.

    I like how you mention that music is also used to teach students in school. Many individuals learn better when concepts are applied to music.
    What is a humming beard?
