Human beings vary in their tastes and in the ways they choose to express themselves. Some love quiet, and enjoy writing in prose or in verse. Some, who also like to be alone and quiet, prefer to use hues, and shapes or lines to display objects and scenes around them, or to express their ideas and feelings. Still others would love to rely on sounds, rhythm, and the harmony in sound combination and variations in structure to create their own world. All these means of expression are necessary, for everybody has a need to express, create, and share with others what they think and feel.
Music has a special effect on every being-- the old, the young, the healthy and the sick-- in general, on people in all walks of life. In war and in peace alike, music usually lifts humans up to a higher, and much better, level of thinking and feeling. The same piece of music may be perceived, interpreted, and enjoyed differently, depending on one's mood and situation. Still, music always brings to this mundane life priceless,inexplicable, universal meanings which not all people can find and share through other means of expression mentioned above. This unique universal language has the power to connect humans beyond geographical borders and many social political differences. Unique but universal; different but similar; soft but powerful. All these qualities one can discover in music.
Hence, a good training in music is necessary. Also, it should start early in life; maybe right from the mother's womb.
