My name is Josh and I think music is great for lots of different reasons. I think music is great because it helps me to concentrate on my homework. Music is important to me because it helps me to express my feelings. I also find music very soothing and relaxing. When I get off from school I like to take a hot shower and turn on some tunes, however when I play music while taking a shower I find it more relaxing than just taking a shower with no music. When I was younger, I always had a great love for music.
For the most part, while I was younger I listened to what my mom listened to. When I was younger while my mom was driving I loved listening to my favorite artist Michael Jackson. I still love Michael Jackson and his music today but I don’t listen to him as much as I used to. Now that I am a teenager I feel music is more powerful and the songs have more meaning now than they did when I was younger. I believe music helps to deal with all types of emotion whether it be Jazz,Pop,Hip Hop, Rock and Roll,and other music people listen to. My favorite types of music are Pop,Hip Hop, Rhythm and Blues,and Gospel music.
I have grown up in a Baptist church for my entire life so I grew up listening to Gospel music. I love Gospel Music because I can play it around family members without worrying about inappropriate language in the song. One of my favorite gospel singers is Kirk Franklin because I get a good vibe listening to his songs. My favorite song of his to listen to is Love Theory because I enjoyed listening to this song with my Nana and Papa in the car.
I think music brings me closer to my friends and family. I also feel like music helps me get through my struggles. For example,I had math homework that I never thought I would get done but when I turned on the music I felt motivated to finish my homework. Without the music I would have gotten very mad and frustrated. Without music I feel like my life would be completely empty. Well whoever reads this I hope you enjoy.
