Why I love music

 

Why do I like participating in the world of music. I love that it is a way of participating with others in a creative process.

Music helps me express my feelings, and gives me hope that I am not alone in my feelings, and also to maybe help others who may have experienced some of the same feelings.

There is a whole world of commercialization of music and while it is important to be supported if it is your main way of making a living, I don't think it is important to meet commercial expectations, or approval, because not everyone's feelings are limited to being commercially appealing or entertaining. 

I am looking forward to becoming more technically skilled, so am taking lessons in guitar with a very talented musician, Allan Jossul, thru Long and McQuade in Courtenay BC. In my first lesson I have learned some really good techniques(basic but amazing ones actually) and look forward to more.
