Music is a manifestation of being

Most people love music unconsciously, knowing nothing about the principles of its construction, neither about the laws of perception, nor about the degree of its impact on the subconscious, as we have known and love our native language since childhood, without knowing either the syntax or the spelling.

Why we love music

If you look into it, it seems to be neither connected with reality nor with its manifestations. It is not like the visible images of ballet or cinema, nor the tangible beauty of painting or sculpture. Music is something else. The more mysterious is the nature of its impact, not only on man, but on everything living.

Someone will call this nature divine. But no one can deny the transcendental, mesmerizing, inexplicable ability of a simple, seemingly set of sounds, to transfer a person to another reality, to cheer up, make one cry or laugh and even help to endure pain. Music is a mood.

Moreover, the sounds cause an aesthetic reaction. It is not necessary to have a special education, and musical awareness is not at all. There is a subliminal pull to sounding melodies. Great minds of different epochs imagined the meaning of the word "music" in their own way. These are quotes that have survived to our days: "Music is the universal language of humanity" (G. Longfellow).

It is interesting to transform what a person considered an instrument for controlling nature and even an unearthly world in what we call music; In what already represented an aesthetic, formed the society as a whole and the person in particular, changed the outlook and got the impulse to develop itself.

Ancient people were sure that spirits live in musical instruments, and music is a huge inexplicable force. It is curious that both of these representations are both similar and opposite.

The role of music in education

The role of musical creativity as a kind of spiritual practice that helps the liberation of creative forces is invaluable. In pedagogy, it promotes the development of the imagination and versatility of the individual, literally constructs the brain, enhances its activity. Music, music is a guide in the spiritual world of mankind. Children who are fond of music, outrun their peers in terms of development level: they quickly master the score and reading, have a developed sense of rhythm, express their thoughts more clearly. They work actively both hemispheres of the brain, developed motor skills of speech and hands.

With all independence from external causes and influences, we are introduced into a certain sound space having a certain structure and color. Therefore, our imagination is so active. Music is a life of unreality, a step towards developing the perception of the listener. For all the specificity of the musical material, there is always the possibility of a colossal self-expression of the composer.

The theory of music carries a huge number of components: from the definition of the secrets of harmonious sound to the proper musical notation, from the study of musical forms to the definition of the subtleties of psychological influence. But is the knowledge of music theory always a factor that stimulates creativity? There is an opinion that this is not so.

Russian music is a combination of traditions and styles

It is impossible to overestimate the role of Russian culture and its colossal influence on world culture with all its greatness and diversity. According to Stanislavsky and Chekhov's systems, students of all theater universities of the world study, Russian artists were the founders of whole directions, and achievements in the field of ballet are a common pride.

Even Russian music and the composer school stand alone apart from the grandiose achievements, because it is precisely in this form of creativity that the national identity of the people is represented in a special way, which makes it unique and always recognizable.

The Undying Classics

Among the variety of trends and styles, classical music stands apart. Modern trends in music are better known than "classics of style", and this is understandable. Avant-garde musical material, as it seems to modern critics, is a kind of protrusion of technical devices, an exaggeration of the rational principle is detrimental to its content and quality.

The place of music in the modern world

At present, the musical horizon seems almost endless, captures the past of culture, tries to attract even artificial, exotic, sometimes primitive music. Music is an essential factor in the influence and formation of society. There is a processing of various musical techniques, and it becomes clear that in the future we can expect the opening of new bright musical ideas.

Now, in connection with the rapid advance of scientific and technological progress, people have got, it is possible to say, unlimited possibilities in seconds to find and listen to favorite compositions. There are also popular convenient formats, and recording media, and the Internet gives you access to the most popular works.

And, although experienced connoisseurs have been grumbling for more than a century, that everything in the world has grinded, the cultural and technical level of performing skills is rapidly declining, it seems that we will still witness the appearance of genuine masterpieces in many musical directions.
