Music - any sweet, pleasing, or harmonious sounds or sound. I don't believe something as personal as music should have one definition. It's different for everyone. My own personal definition is that music is what feelings sound like.
Music is something I've unofficially grown up with my entire life. I am a musician and have been since 5th grade. Although, I believe that if I wasn't a performer, I'd still have music in my soul. I cannot even imagine a day when I do not involve my life with music. Music isn't just a hobby to me; it's a pleasant afternoon on a sunny day with no care in the world but the metronome clicking in the background and melodies flowing from my fingertips. It's my own way of conveying my personality to others because I'm not much of a conversationalist. I find comfort in music the way people find comfort in sweatpants. (Which is also something I find comfort in :D). I play with all of my heart and I don't let anyone tell me otherwise about it. I love performing jazz and orchestral bass. Something that, from what I've seen of the music world, isn't very common. Over the summer I spent a week at NIU learning and perfecting jazz performance to the best of my ability. That week taught me more than just jazz performance, it taught me about friendships and feelings and what it takes out of you every single day to practice and perform for four hours a day.
Music is something that makes me feel infinite. It's something I do in my free time, yes. But it's also something I want to continue with for the rest of my life. No matter if it's performing, teacher, or just listening. I want it in the rest of my life no matter what it takes because it's something I love and it's something that I can't live without.
