Music: The Universal Language (Weekly Blog #4)


Music is the universal language because one can listen to any kind of music and appreciate it. One can walk into a musical situation and sit in with musicians from other countries, races or cultures. Music can create images without using words. Musicians are able to play music with other musicians without speaking the same language. This is because music is the universal language. Someone does not have to speak the same language with someone to play music with him or her. Musicians can just pick up their instruments and improvise. Music can convey thoughts and feelings on a visceral level; no matter where you’re from you can understand and enjoy music. Music is everywhere and has/is being made by every culture. One does not have to understand the words of another song to enjoy it, nor does it need to have words. Music is merely beautiful to the ears. Anyone can appreciate any form of music no matter where the person is from, what language he or she speaks, or what the person is accustomed to.
