Music Similarities Cont.

I know this should have been part of the last post, but I was thinking last night and saw another large connection between music and another part of life.

About a month ago, I was in metal shop class. Now, I'm not normally very tactile, so I'm dreading another 40 minutes of welding and cutting metal. However, metal work and music have a lot in common. One thing that particularly stuck out to me was the difference between adhesion and cohesion. Adhesion is where you melt one metal over 2 other to hold them together. However, it is a very weak bond. Cohesion is where you melt 2 metals together to make one solid object that has a very strong bond. This is similar to an overture from a play. It gives pieces of all the music in the play or in the act in one song. It uses cohesion, not adhesion. It doesn't give on song, then a crummy filler, then the next. It uses a stronger bond, by melding everyone of the songs together.

This is just another example that shows that you shouldn't label yourself as good at one thing, not at another. Everything is the same, only in a different form. Therefore, you can do and achieve anything you wish.
