Music has always been a part of my life. I started playing stringed instruments at the age of 7. Later I added the piano, and in my late teens played a baritone ukulele in a folk singing group. And I sang in choirs and groups.
The Viola was my instrument! Along with the school orchestras I played in the North Iowa Symphony. In all, I averaged about 5 hours a day playing that instrument!
Music can reflect our every emotion! From Joy, Grief, Sadness, Love, and even Anger!
The rhythm of a piece can get our foot to tapping, encourage us to sway, dance, even exercise!
Music connects us with our physical, emotional, and spiritual beings!
As of late I haven't connected with those instruments that were such a part of my youth! As an adult other things took my time and attention!
Now I'm drawn back to not only listening to the music I love, but itching to again spend time expressing myself through music! I have again begun to dance (in the privacy of my home), sing, though only to myself, and play the keyboard and baritone uke again!
So- my first "Love"- the love of music that speaks to me in so many ways is to be my companion, my comfort, and my "Love" once more!
Until next time, Dear Readers! I encourage you to find the Music that Moves and Inspires you!
