One of my favourite quotes by an unknown author says<br />
“Music is what feelings sound like” I love this quotation<br />
because to me, that is what art is, an expression or feeling<br />
which could not otherwise be expressed if it were not for that<br />
channel.<br />
When given the opportunity to write for this prestigious<br />
publication, <strong>MAM</strong>, I had to find a topic for this column.<br />
I dwelled on many a thoughts, consulted a few of my close friends then as I was listening to<br />
the radio, it hit me. We all listen to music but why do we listen to it? Do we learn anything from<br />
it, if so, what is it that we learn and most importantly, is there a proper way to appreciate it?<br />
Music is, after all, art and therefore warrants some degree of appreciation and respect.<br />
Give this some thought, as a music lover of whichever genre of music; are you truly<br />
appreciating the work that goes into making the said craft which you love listening to? When<br />
you listen to music, which elements of the craft do you pay most attention to and most<br />
importantly which ones do you ignore? Don't be shy now, be honest with yourself. I set out to<br />
speak to numerous people on this topic in order to hear what they had to say. The questions I<br />
asked them were simple, because really, who has the time to sit and answer long questions<br />
as if they are writing a school test?<br />
The questions were as follows<br />
1. What genre of Music do you listen to?<br />
2. Why do you listen to that genre?<br />
3. What do you take away from the music you listen to<br />
4. When do you usually listen to music?<br />
5. What do you think is the best way to appreciate music<br />
The people I spoke to had varying interests in genres, from rock to reggae, gospel and<br />
underground hip hop, and the one thing all these people had in common was that music<br />
