A Pianist's Agony
Her hands glided across the black and white keys—hard, fast, emotionless. To her audience, listening to her painful melody, and to herself, who blocked out the sound of the music. Her heart wasn’t set on playing her very best, she wouldn’t mind being stopped.

All the Best
John Prine is in heaven now. He died yesterday after some years of bobbing and weaving with cancer. He was 73. If we are to believe one of his songs, and there is absolutely no reason not to believe any of his songs, he is already having a grand time.

Musical Conversation Between Two Souls
Have you ever met someone for the first time, and just knew they were special? I've been lucky enough in my life to have experienced this feeling several times, but nothing is quite like the day I met Doug. We were at a recreation event for and with those who have developmental disabilities in the county he and I both lived in (at the time). A couple months prior, I started as the Music Coordinator, the Music Man, tasked with creating and implementing a comprehensive music program spanning several different developmental disabilities and a wide range of ages for the individuals supported at this particular non-profit agency. He was wearing a cowboy hat dancing up a storm, letting loose, and cutting up a rug. It was as if nothing else mattered. He was in the zone! I absolutely loved his energy, so I felt compelled to go over and introduce myself. We hit it off cracking jokes and I knew I was in the presence of someone self-less and caring.

The experience of a quarter-finalist at The Voice
I think it was a May day and I had just got back from my semester abroad in Chicago. Back then I was a student at the Business&Economics University in Vienna - my mom and I thought it'd be a good idea to go there since I'd been learning German from a very young age (5 or 6 to be precise). This is irrelevant to the actual story but you need to understand what my situation was and what I was putting on hold.

Music and Scenery
Has there ever been a place you've been to and when you listen to a certain song, it just fits with the atmosphere of where you are?

Life Interpreted Though Music
Music; An essential ingredient to a party or concert, The core of a good film, The product of musicians, For some music is just something to listen to when bored or to pass time but to me music is the core of my entire existence, but to truly understand how it centred my entire world we must go back to the very beginning.

Music
#My point of view Music/Television makes one feel Energised and Refreshed.Its a healer and helps tackle problems and Emotional wellbeing. But the Irony is.. these days people are using Music as a tool to disturb others as they play it too loud at high listening volumes.Music should help Nurture souls rather than hurting anyone.
