What do we think of when we think of music? The beauty of it is that everyone will have a different answer to this question, with some picturing rock stars donned with guitars, keyboards, drums or a microphone and other picturing dance music defined by DJs working the decks. Others might picture a full orchestral ensemble of a hundred musicians, performing classical music in sections of woodwind, string, brass and percussion.
Some might think of music only when they are deciding what to listen to. Perhaps they are about to embark on a walk and are trying to decide what to listen to on their walkman, or maybe they are working on an essay and need something on in the background to help them concentrate. And then there are those that use music in their line of work – perhaps they work in a recording studio or maybe they are a film director deciding on what kind of music would best suit the spectacular actions scene they have just shot. It shows how diverse and versatile music actually is. It finds its way into everything, with jingles on TV adverts helping us to remember a certain product or perhaps it is part of a great memory – a party with a good mix of tunes or a festival with a line up of our favourite bands.
