In our house, music has always been a huge thing. We like lots of variety and our kids have been brought up on the huge variety and even found their own. My 18 year old played percussion in school band for a few years and has a good natural talent for guitar. My 16 year old has just finished her 3rd season of marching band as a percussionist.
Music can help you in so many ways. Just listening to your favorite song can help lift your mood. Having good music playing while cleaning always makes me more motivated. Making your own music helps you get out your feelings and can help others understand you. Most songs have a particular story they are telling from the songwriters point of view. Most people can listen to a song and relate it to something in their lives. It can be something completely different than the writers intentions, but that person feels that song just the same based on how they interpret it. One song can even have multiple meanings to a person, based on their mood or mindset.
My husband, TJ, has been playing guitar since we met over 20 years ago. All self taught with lots of practice. He has had a couple small bands, but nothing that went anywhere. A couple years ago he started posting on social media and has started gaining followers and regular listeners. He spends hours coming up with new music and putting pieces together to start forming songs. A lot of hard work goes into making a short little riff or piece of a song.
