Step XVI
Aurality
I heard there was a secret chord that David played and it pleased the Lord. But you don't really care for music, do you? Well it goes like this, the fourth, the fifth. The baffled composing hallelujah...
I was think about communication again. More so, I was thinking about music. A friend of mine recently taught me the basics of music theory. It is really cool to be able to communicate like that.
But I think that the primal essence of it lies in the unspoken messages in the sounds. Just the sound alone, can move you beyond anything the prettiest words could hope for.

A theater teacher of mine once asked the very simple question: why do people sing in musicals? The answer is that you sing when speaking is not enough to convey the emotions, when you need something bigger than speaking to express an emotion. The same can be said of playing an instrument. :)
That encapsulates everything I was trying to say.
