Music is a part of many individuals’ lives; some people start and end their day with music.

It is something that many turn to alter their mood – music can change a sad face into a smiling face, it can change a worried soul into a happy soul.

But what exactly is music and why is it such a big part of our lives?

Music is an art form that is generally defined as the arrangement of sounds to create some combination of form, harmony, melody, rhythm in order to produce expressive content.

Music provides one of the biggest avenues for individuals to express themselves and communicate with others.

Music is a powerful tool that can even bring people together, it is what makes the special moments even more blissful.
