Music can do many things, it can make you feel better when you are feeling down, it can drive emotions, it can inspire, and it also can bring memories back from the haze of the past. Music is kind of a cultural memory in a way. Different styles, evolutions, or even just rhythms can define the significance of an era. Listen to Gershwin-s Rhapsody in Blue, the jazzy undertones and playful runs make me think of the 50-s. It is still a standard for many musicians and composers alike.Confused? Here ‘s a little help . Even if you don-t know the song by name I can almost guarantee that you would know it if it is played for you.

So how does great music get shared? Well there are many ways to do this; school, family, exposure, and just plain experimentation. There are so many types of music that even if you don-t like many types there is sure to be one that will make your heart swell. Music is a very strong conveyer of emotions, and it can be used to relieve stress or express passion. The song Bolero by Ravel is a perfect example of build up. The song is approximately eight minutes long starting with just 2 or 3 instruments and gradually builds and swells to a wall of sound.
