While you read
There are two things that make humans different form all other animals. They are language and music. Music is clearly
different from language. However, people can use it to communicate -especially their emotions. Like reading,
writing and speaking, music can express ideas, thought and feelings. It can express one's anger, love, hate or
friendship; it can also convey one's hopes and dreams .
Music is very much an integral part of our life. It is played during almost all important events and on special
occasions and sets the tone for them. It adds joyfulness to the atmosphere of the festival and makes a funeral
more solemn and mournful. Music lulls babies to sleep at night and wakes students up in the morning .
Above all, music entertains .It makes people happy and excited .It delights the senses .In facts, music as
entertainment has always been a big business. It is a billion-dollar industry. It is difficult to imagine what our lives
would be like without music
