As a lifelong music teacher who still plays the occasional club or cafe gig, music is huge in my life. I married another music teacher, my kids both play and most of my meaningful relationships arose from musical pursuits. Some of my students have become great friends whom I otherwise wouldn't have known.
What does music mean to your life/
(For me, it's everything). Music/art, is so important to our existence as human beings. Think about it. Without this basic form of human expression, what is there? Can you even imagine a world without it? I can't. I don't want to.
Some of us choose fields that require study at extreme expense, (then we come home to our lives and find solace in the arts/or find it while driving to and from our jobs).
There is seemingly one connector to us all, this resolve/this expression we have within ourselves that some of us express more than others that most of us still understand in our own way. We are all connected in this way. Through the arts. In the context of this thread/this forum, it's music. Music has the ability to transcend all boundaries. Wow! What a great thing. This is a common denominator that we all share. That's why it is so important.
It's from this realization that I choose to participate in this conversation, by way of this forum. I hope my contribution helps, in some way, other's who may find a need for a direction to music they otherwise would not have even heard of.
