Music and art are essential human activities. Art and humanity cannot exist without the other. We all have the desire to create, no matter what it may be , however small or huge. The relationship with sound is a necessity, whether to create it or to delight in it. Music has always been important in their lives, be it to enjoy listening, or the emotional response in performing, or for making. It's the same for contemporary or classical concert music. Both have immense value to our society, however the issue we have in this area is that it is not widely known and, consequently, is undervalued. As an artist and musician, it is my duty to ensure to help others appreciate the art that I am a fervent lover.
It's no surprise that in the mainstream of American culture the classical or concert genre is not an integral aspect of life for the majority of people. There are some stigmas that are contributing to this, along with the actions of the federal government over the past two decades (declining the amount of songlyrics or music instruction at the school level, a decrease in music education on a local level, opposition to an increase in NEA funding, and less awareness of the arts on a national scale; let's believe for the best that Obama administration will be able to reverse these patterns). Some people still think it is only only for those who are wealthy, old and educated. Many people are uncomfortable attending classical music events because they believe they have to behave and dress in a certain manner to be able to get into the recital or concert hall. Additionally than that, the pretentiousness or the elitism of some performers is amplified by certain commercials, TV shows and plays, as well as books written by those with influence, or even by themselves who separate musicians from society. Although some of this may be true, like nearly any other stereotype, it's not completely true. In light of the influence that concert music creates in society, many decide that it's and is not “for them” simply because they feel it is of no significance or value in their daily lives. The problem is further complicated by the government's previous absence of enthusiasm for and promoting the arts, whether that is funding organizations for the arts or education in the arts. The current administration gives us hope and we've seen evidence of its determination; however, the most important thing is that our American society has to be convinced that everyone will find something to enjoy and value in classical music or concert.
The most typical way people get into music is by listening to or attending an event. Being able to listen at home using an MP3 player, while driving, on a computer, or an iPod is an extremely personal and satisfying experience. Music, we are aware can create a mood as well as an atmosphere when we listen to it in bars, lounges and parties as well as other social gatherings. Additionally, attending a concert is unique because it gives the pleasure of hearing live music and making the music sound the way it was meant to sound (if it's acoustic, which is). In what other place can one be seated with others while listening, or simply enjoy the music while in (relative) quietness so that there aren't any distractions other than the music?
Music also can stimulate your mind. There are many aspects that music has to offer, that one could listen to and pay attention. You can pay attention to the melody or the theme and harmony, slow or driving rhythms, the colors of the sound and the activity of a piece, the way in which the sound is created or how they are connected to each other as well as discovering how the composer came up with the composition. Listening with a keen eye and concentration is an unforgettable experience that allows you to get lost in a new music world.
Music for concert is music which is not just pleasant to the ears and mind, but also nourishing for the soul. It is widely believed that music triggers an emotional reaction. The characters of various degrees that are present in music can alter your mood. Music can make someone feel happier and make them more excited or cause them to feel more relaxed and calm.

This all requires extreme physical coordination while playing the instrument on its own or with others, listening to musical notation and making subtle or powerful modifications to music that only performers can provide. For musicians who are not professional music can be an escape from daily life or provide a way of expressing one's capabilities. It's an essential aspect of their lives, and serves as a response to a desire or an urge to compose music.

In the mainstream American society, art and music are typically as a secondary discipline that is not necessary to our culture and society; however , this is changing. The significance of music and arts in our lives fills an unmet require to improve our lives and our society. They provide endless experiences, and help to enhance the skills that we employ in other fields and professions. In recent years the arts are getting into the mainstream and getting the attention of viewers via shows like “So You Think You Can Dance,” or “The Colbert Report” with reference to composers living today like Steve Reich or guests from the world of classical and jazz (Wynton Marsalis or Alex Ross). In addition, by the show “American Idol” viewers learn how to critique music and voice their opinionated musical views. There was even a huge response and attention from the media to YouTube Symphony Orchestra contest. Our society is getting more involved in the arts, whether they are aware of it. The classical and artistic fields were kept out of the public's view for in the past, but since it's been slowly exposed and is growing in fascination and even awe for the world. Musicians and other people who are enthusiastic about music and the arts should be aware of what is happening and continue to show the activities happening across the globe for the general public using diverse methods. Many people may consider the arts and music as an alternatives to mainstream entertainment. The more options there are to enhance our lives of their minds, the better for all societies. We hope to see this development lead to a point where classical music and concert music will are accepted into the mainstream of society, providing all it can to a wider audience.
