Why Music Matters?

What is that first thing comes to your mind when you listen to music - any music?

For me, it has always been that beautiful, soothing feeling leading me to another world of my own. Listening to music eases my pain, boosts my energy - fuelling me for the day.

Music also helped me a lot during the times when I was feeling a little low. On one occasion, after listening to some lively, energy-boosting music, I came to know that the artist who performed was also feeling low at that time, but used the gloom to create motivational music to uplift the spirit of others.

Everyone has their favorites on their playlist which they listen over and over again. But sometimes I try some new genre in order to explore how music has touched different cultures or is influenced by it. I am glad I did, because I heard some of the best music which I had not listened before.

My foray into music also extends to playing music instruments such as flute, guitar, and mouth organ to name a few. Though, most of the instruments are really difficult to master at first, dedicated practice helps and daily rehearsals will work like a charm. I discovered that it’s not just listening to but also playing music instruments that can help gain inner peace.

Our Vibgyor Yelahanka Band epitomizes all this.
