The Magic of Music
Music is one of the most common forms of entertainment. I can hardly think of anyone who doesn’t like music. It appears that wherever you go, music is playing or someone is listening to his or her MP3 or CD player. From middle school students to business executives, almost everyone seems to be a keen music lover. Why do people enjoy music so much? I believe music works like magic: it pleases our senses, lightens our moods, and helps to develop friendship. To begin with, music appeals to us greatly because heating is one of our most receptive and pleasure-feeling senses. Our ears are capable of heating and interpreting an extremely broad range of pitch and tones. Yet, other than music, the day-to-day sounds we usually hear are a scattered and unrelated series of overlapping middle tones, for example, voices and construction noise. The lack of harmony and variation in these sound waves can cause a headache. Conversely, music is the only kind of sound that is comprised of a harmonized and logical sequence of high and low tones. It is simply and naturally pleasing to our senses.________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Finally, music is of great value because it is a means of establishing a common interest among both friends and strangers. Friends frequently take pleasure in sharing new music. The quality of a particular piece of music is something that even strangers can agree on without much debate. Strangers from different countries can easily become friends through the simple process of singing or dancing together to music. Music, the only universal language, binds people together. Therefore, music has magic power which stimulates our senses and enhances our moods and emotions. It also serves as a means for establishing closer ties between friends and strangers alike. Indeed, a life without music would be boring and difficult.
