This I Believe that Music is a Universal Language

When someone asks, what music do you listen to? Personally, I think its very
similar to asking the question, what language do you speak? There are so many
types of languages out there just like there are so many types of music. For every
different country, they have their own language that they speak just like with music,
every different countriesy probably listens to something elsedifferent types of
music. There can bewith an exceptions to this with people across the world of a few
who listen to the same thing. Music is just a different way of speaking to someone,,
its just like speaking to someone except with a rhythm and melody and your
message can be conveyed to many different people which makes it universal.
Any language has its grammatical rules like verbs, nouns, adjectives, and
etc. to actually make the language understandable and give it clarity. The same is
true with music,. Mmusic has its rules alsoto such as proper notes, keys, pitch, and
etc. The onlyOne major difference between music and language is that music can
reach a much larger group of people. When playing the radio in the car, I think
about how many other people are listening to that same song. At a concert a lot of
the time people leaveMany people leave concerts feeling those events happy and
emotional because music touches people in ways that just speaking to someone
cant. Music can bring people together as well whether its a concert, club, or
wedding. Music brings out the emotion in people who may not necessarily feel sad
all the time, but when music plays certain emotions can beare released and it
becomesits easier to relate towith other people given the shared experience of
listening to music.
The beautiful thing about music is that it will always be around. From the
beginning of time untill today there was always music, even before the idea of
music was thought ofunderstood. For example, thousands of years ago, when there
were no instruments or computers to make music there were birds chirping in
theose trees just having a good time making melodies and beautiful sounds which
would be considered music. Language will change over time but it will never be
gone over time, just like music, which it will change over time with genres changing
over the course of newthrough generations but it will never be gone. The fact that it
will exist forever and everyone all over the world listens to music makes me believe
that music is a universal language that will coexists always to speak to different
people and touch them in different ways.
Overall to conclude, I believe that music is a universal language because I
have realized that languagemusic is the same thing music does much of what

language does, but in a different way. It communicates and reaches people on a

different level., Iit brings people together, and it will never cease to exist. These
reasons I truly believe make music a universal language.
