the power of music
Music can move. Music can change things. Music can make things hurt less. Music can make things make sense for moments at a time. What’s the point? I promise you there’s a point. -Tyler Joseph. That is a quote from a man named Tyler Joseph. He is an artist and the lead singer of the band twenty one pilots.
I believe every word of that quote because I have experienced these feelings. My name is Ian Talavera and I believe in the power of music. I believe that music moves people, music is almost like a moving thing. It feels like it can be alive at times. Music can change people’s lives. Music can change how you feel about something. Music can take away pain. Music can make you feel less alone. It can let you know you aren’t the only person going through something. Music has ideas and emotions in lyrics that can help you understand, and learn new things.
 As you can tell I have a passion for music. I like playing the piano, guitar, and my ukulele. 
I like listening to music, especially rock, alternative, and classical. I really do believe in the power of music. I think it connects people and helps people through rough times. I like how it is a form of expression, it’s a form of expressing your emotions and ideas in a beautiful way. Music is creativity, emotion, and really just something vibrant. 
I put all this faith into music because it has helped me before in many ways. Many memories and experiences have also made me very passionate about this subject. For example I remember going to a piano concert once and it was a very nice experience. I don’t exactly remember the pianists name or where it was at, but I remember the playing. I could almost hear the color of the music. I felt the emotion inside the pianists playing. Anger, love, hate, loneliness, and I mean you could tell it was there. Listening to good music with hard work and good care was what really changed me. It made me believe in the power of music and that belief really contributes to who I am in a big way. It is a part of me and if you were to become friends with me you would know that. 
I think music is an amazing and special thing in this world. It may just be sounds, and some of them may be ugly, beautiful, and emotional. Either way it is the ideas of somebody in the form of a sound and that really is something phenomenal. Thank you for listening to my beliefs and my opinion on the power of music.
