Role of music

There is no doubt that music is an important element in society as it is the combination of art and culture. Music can be pleasant, exciting, relaxing, stimulating, or many other things. Some people just listen to music, while others actively play music and others still can experiment with the effects of music.

Each human society or culture produces its own musical pieces, many of which are deeply cultural and are sometimes played on uniquely cultural instruments, especially traditional forms of music. It is no exaggeration to say that good music can become an instant hit in society and may even be successful cross-culturally. Music is regarded as an international language for cross-cultural communication and exchanges. The beautiful rhythm and melody of Secret Garden are moving and touching as its main refrain appeals to everyone and all to live in harmony in society. Beethoven’s Choral encourages people to care for each other to overcome obstacles in life and pursue happiness.

Because music is so diverse, it can satisfy the different needs of different people at different times. Music is a deeply personal form of entertainment; some individuals may like classics such as Italian operas or Baroque music whereas others turn to pop music. The Beatles had millions of audiences worldwide glued to their televisions.

I feel that it is not important to argue whether music is important for a society or simply as entertainment for an individual. Rather, what is significant is that music works are the consummation of a society’s art and culture. From music we can get enjoyment, and through music we draw spiritual satisfaction. (267 words)
