Music to me has always been something i love doing. Any type of art that enables someone to express themselves really interests me. The arts really show who a person is. Not only on the outside but the person's character as well. I feel that this topic would be great for me because music surrounds many aspects of a person's life and plays a huge role in the world. Music unites people and nations. To me music is everything. The originality of music let's people feel a range of emotions. Different types of music make people feel certain ways. There is no particular way to setup or create music. There are no rules. Music comes from inside a person depending on how they are feeling. The world is musical. Not so oblivious that there's a band on every corner of the street, but in the way that isn't very noticeable unless you have an ear for music. For example a busy city street with the rumbling of car motors is like the steady beat of drums. The car horns from angry drivers and like the brass section in a big jazz band. Even the simplicity of pedestrians walking on the sidewalks having conversations are choirs with different tambors and harmonies. We don't notice these things because we are always so busy in a busy world, but if we step back and listen, the music is there.

The arts seem like a great theme. I'd be interested to hear more specifically about how you think you might address it via personal essay, ethnography, and argument. Let's chat a bit in class...(It does seem to inspire you--glad to see that.)
