Music

Music brings Joy! 

Music defined as “vocal or instrumental sounds (or both) combined in such a way as to produce beauty of form, harmony, and expression of emotion”, “an art of sound in time that expresses ideas and emotions in significant forms through elements of rhythm, melody, harmony and colour”.

I love having Music in the house and dancing around with my children.

I have now also found Joy in putting in my headphones and listening to Music. I’m absolutely loving Country Music. I’ve always loved Country Music yet have recently discovered it again and am loving listening to new artists where I am currently looking up country singers from Georgia. I love the love stories of heartbreak and forever love. To me it’s like a mini movie with real characters and real emotions captured in the Music, in just a few minutes.

Listening to Music while cooking brings me Joy too. I’m in my own world, feeling creative and inspired and relaxed and in the moment. 

I love my children singing, it is beautiful Music. I absolutely loved my son’s Christmas Concert and really loved on Christmas Eve when my daughter sang carols to our neighbours, it was so wonderful! The bringing of Joy through Music. 

The other day when I was at my friend’s home I loved sitting in the verandah with her playlist of Music playing on her speaker. And then at the park I loved us sharing our favourite songs. I love getting to know people and love when they share details about their favourite songs where one of Emma’s friend’s Mums was saying that she loves fast paced Music and dances around the house and that this is very fitness. And watching her come to life in her telling the story showed her Joy. 

And I loved on Christmas my niece received a Karaoke microphone and my nieces and children were singing their favourite songs. The best Music! The greatest Joy! Coming together and being in a special moment together.

Growing up I loved going to concerts! This was always the best night. I loved seeing Cyndi Lauper. I loved John Farnham. I loved Missy Higgins. Once Covid is over and when my children are much older I look forward to taking them to concerts. We had a great time when Emma was younger going to The Wiggles. Music definitely brings Joy for all ages. 

Over recent years I’ve loved going to The Brass Monkey too, a Music Club in Cronulla. I loved discovering new Music.

To me Music is often about discovery and it is definitely about being in the moment and feeling the Music, the beat and the emotion. 

We are blessed by the Joy of Music. And I love Spotify that instantly plays any song I choose, a worthwhile investment and fantastic invention to showcase Music to bring Joy.
