Rhythm of life

I feel that music permeates all our life. Be it the carols you sing in a church or the Gregorian chants or the bhajans in a temple. They all have one thing in common, and this common thing happens to be my favorite subject ” Rhythm”

Rhythms have been observed in all activities in nature, the rhythm of the seasons, rhthm of the heart beat and of the rain and the sea winds and the tides. All of them have a rhythm, In fact the clock we use to calculate time is one of the biggest rhythm.

Just like time and distance, Rhythm is one of the primary building blocks of everything around us.

Objects which do not get a rhythm seem to perish quickly and the ones who can adjust tend to prosper.

Today when you lie down on bed, take a few minutes to think about this. How many rhythms can you recognize?

Is there such a thing as a music mind? (where some people have better memory with music than others)?

Some people can play and understand music almost instantaneously whereas some just can’t seem to get the concept. Some take years and some never get it. Does it have anything to do with how people think? Can we tune our brains to be musically inclined?

In Howard Gardner’s Theory of Multiple Intelligence, music is one of the seven. Most people call that “talent,” and it works just as you describe. The theory of multiple intelligences is not universally accepted, and there are new types of intelligences being added to the original list of seven.

I think we can “tune our brains” through practice and the right learning/teaching approach. Anyone can teach “naturals,” a great teacher can translate the material to whatever intelligences you already have.

Just a few examples: People who are good at math, for instance, are often able to translate that type of thinking to understanding music theory. And people who are athletic or kinesthetically gifted have an advantage in learning the posture and holds for an instrument without needing to be told how to do it. Other people understand technique and color without having to study. Visual learners have the advantage in reading music.

Make your own music!!!

Have you ever tried to make your own music?

what says you?

Not musical enough?

hahah

who told you that ?

your 5th grade music teacher? or your mom?

coz both of them can be wrong!!

you know many of the best muscians today were told they are crazy to think they can sell their music to earn money. well guess what Madonna is one of the richest musicans for this year

How do you think she made her fortune?

So go and make your mind numb by creating some music. you dont haver to sell it and beocme rich, its just a way of expressing your self.

If you are feeling a bit constipated it is really good to go listen to some tunes and the play them

Mind Music rocks!!!
