Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life

Music is the only thing I’ve ever known that doesn’t have any rules at all.

I’ve always thought people would find a lot more pleasure in their routines if they burst into song at significant moments.

Country music is three chords and the truth

A great song should lift your heart, warm the soul and make you feel good.

Music is the literature of the heart; it commences where speech ends

Music is life itself

For me, there is something primitively soothing about this music, and it went straight to my nervous system, making me feel ten feet tall

Music acts like a magic key, to which the most tightly closed heart opens

I’ve found that no matter what life throws at me, music softens the blow

Music is the great uniter. An incredible force. Something that people who differ on everything and anything else can have in common.

The true beauty of music is that it connects people. It carries a message, and we, the musicians, are the messengers.

Music should be your escape.

Music is the shorthand of emotion.

Music is moonlight in the gloomy night of life.

Music expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent.

July 31 is Uncommon Musical Instrument Awareness Day, a day to celebrate odd, rare, experimental, and well, uncommon musical instruments.

Throughout human history, musicians have tried to push the boundary of sounds and music by inventing newer and innovative ways of creating music.

This day aims to encourage people to not only learn to play some of these uncommon instruments but also to make their own contributions to the world of music by making their own musical instruments.

What To do ?

• Learn about uncommon instruments. Some examples include the Xaphoon, Daxophone, and Bowfrideaphone.
• Start learning how to play an uncommon musical instrument.

FYI…

…that the earliest recorded music instruments are about 42,000 years old? Found in a cave in Germany, these flutes were made of bird bones and mammoth ivory.

When words leave off, music begins.

Music was my refuge. I could crawl into the space between the notes and curl my back to loneliness.

Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.

I think music in itself is healing. It’s an explosive expression of humanity. It’s something we are all touched by. No matter what culture we’re from, everyone loves music.

If music be the food of love, play on.

Music can change the world because it can change people.

Without music, life would be a mistake.

Where words fail, music speaks.
