The Instrument, The Tool of Your Expression

Whatever the instrument it becomes an extension of your emotive thoughts. The instrument is the method in which musicians use to reveal the inner content of their emotions. It can also reflect the images and thoughts that are becoming more pressing to them. This is one of the reasons that individuals are drawn to specific types of music because they identify with the various emotions and feelings that the instrument expresses.

Music in all actuality unleashes the atmosphere already existing within the mind and this is why the individual hearer responds so quickly. In the subconscious mind of an individual there have been themes that have been considered and activated for quite some time. These themes are those thoughts that have consistently been rising to the upper levels of our consciousness and we have actually been feeling the thoughts but at a lower level. Music releases what is within the individual heart and allows them to be free with their inner feelings.

The individual is unique and is allowed to release the creativity or relax when they are paired with the music that is accommodating to their emotive state. The best thing for the true musician and aspiring musician is to be true to who and what you are. Yes if this is your living you want to sell your music and be rewarded for the hard work and yet, if music is your passion it ceases to be work. When you create within the borders and boundaries of who and what you are you will reach someone because all that man goes through is common to the human race. Your expressions will help individuals to break free of the imposed structure that conforms to what the powers that be seek to be music or popular of innovative. In all truth what you unleash from your creative fountains of your heart is the true innovation.

In music you are the creator and there is someone who is always drawn to your work who may benefit from the vibes that you release as you express yourself with the tool of expression which is your instrument. Your expression will always cause a response and this is why you must express those positive aspects of your self that, in a sense, are therapeutic and nurturative to others. In many cases individuals have experienced a lot of trauma and trouble in their lives especially in these last few years with the pandemic and what seems to a global event that is occurring all over the globe and all over our country. Your gift of music no matter how intense, how great or small it can always touch someone else.

Be who you are and give you to others!
