Did you know that music making is part of what makes humans
human? Every culture makes music. Not only that, every past
culture has made music too. Musical instruments are amongst the oldest
man-made objects ever found.
Compare this with reading and writing. The earliest forms of
writing are no more than about 3500 years old. And many cultures of the
world still do not read or write.
Scientists have recently discovered that music affects many parts
of our brain very deeply. But you don’t need to be a scientist to understand
that! Trying singing ‘Happy Birthday’ or a Christmas song and
you will understand. What do these tunes make you think of? How do they make
you feel? You’ll be filled with all sorts of memories and feelings when
you hear these tunes—many more than would if you simply said the words
‘birthday’ or ‘Christmas’.
Music gets under your skin. It creates strong feelings.
And it creates strong memories.
Music is a language. It is a language for all humans. It
is a language that is there when normal language is of little use.
