An Intro to Music

An Intro to Music

Kyle Hinds, Staff Writer

  Music has been around for thousands of years. It’s helped shape human society and traditions ever since its creation from our ancestors that lived way before us. Music has a certain importance on everyone world-wide. It may not mean much to some while meaning the whole world to others. Music has always been going through different changes and continues to evolve even to this day everywhere around the world. But just how much does it mean to people in the present day?
  Music effectively changes people’s moods, emotions, and helps stimulate our brains. Whether to make you relax, or to help you become more active and pumped, it helps bring these changes by a wide margin. A study was conducted around Somerset Canyons Academy asking how much and what does music mean to the average student body. Some said it was a relaxant, giving a sense of tranquility while listening, while others say it’s not much, just something to make you distracted or to pass time. Although to a small percent, music is an extremely important part of their whole life. They described music as a significant figure to their characters and the artists they listen to helps shape their personality. Whether for good or bad, music has a strong impact on most of its listeners.
  This study from Somerset Canyons also applies to a majority of our population. Music comes in all forms and are all expressed differently for different types of listeners. Whether it’s rock, or even reggae, all forms of music are beautiful. And they will continue to strongly impact this world just like it always has.
