Within the home environment, music creates a deeper, emotional connection. Whether experiencing the first instances of musical bonding between a mother and infant or listening to music together as a group, family identity and social closeness are fostered and can continue throughout a child's entire life.
Is music important in your life? If you ask me: Yes! Music improves your health and well-being.
A study from Harvard has shown that relaxing music may lower blood pressure and heart rate after physical exertion. It can also improve mood and reduce anxiety and through bringing people together, can be an antidote to loneliness and social isolation.
Music is a creative outlet. It provides an opportunity for people from all social and cultural backgrounds to express themselves.
Whether it’s to convey a political message, a particular emotion or just for the sheer joy, musicians have used sound and music since the dawn of primitive man as a way of expressing themselves and getting their voices heard.

I remember my parent's irritation in their faces, such as a broken mirror! Once upon a time, we have been getting crazy while listening to our idols' sounds. In my case, sometime during the 1960s and 1970s.
I felt "satisfaction" while listening to the Rolling Stones or dancing to the Beatles. I had hectic dreams together with Pink Floyd or couldn't hold myself with "Da-da-da_ and its then "German New Wave which swapped to the world later on - yes, even up to the Philippines.
Today, we are the parents of the younger generation again. Is there diplomatic space for any discussions? What's the music up nowadays?
Rap or house? Or something like this? Noise, din, row, racket, fuss, or damage to my (?) musical paintwork?
I remember harmonic accords with flutes and my accordion. Later myself at the piano ... .
Which type of music connects people? Similarly, the fusion of different genres of music, such as hip hop and reggae, has created new subcultures and communities of fans. Music has been used to promote social change and political movements throughout history. It has the power to inspire and mobilise people to take action and make a difference.
Two generations, even three meanwhile. Let's strike the right one - no matter which generation we belong to.
