Music Is Amazing

I was practicing my piano today when it struck me how amazing the music we create truly is. Even the simpplest songs are so complex. It kind of gets me thinking: how do humans just know what "sounds good"? Before we established rules of counterpoint and composition, how did we know the right combinations of notes? One answer is that music is just a part of any organism. That music is a part of our minds. Some evidence to back this up is the oddly high occurance of musical families. Very often, a musically gifted person will have a musically gifted child. My personal opinion is that music is an inherent piece to any living thing. Therefore, don't let music slip you by. Embrace that part of yourself by listening, playing, and writing music.
