Music Pervades Everyday Life
We appreciate those musical artists who perform on TV and radio....those who work diligently to achieve recognition among the top ten. But this page is devoted to those who perform in our communities...the singers and instrumentalists who devote countless hours of practice to ensure that our church services, school functions and community affairs are lively and memorable.
The key to being a great musician is not so much being recognized in the media, although we all would like to aspire to that. The key is to make your instrument talk to the emotions and hearts of your audience. This takes work. It takes constant practice and study. Those of us who are lucky, begin our musical journey very young, thanks to caring parents who enable us to take music lessons. But that doesn't mean that an adult can't learn music as well. It's never too late to begin learning music. And, more important, we need to remember that we never stop learning. Of course, you can attend college or adult education classes -- and you may be lucky enough to find talented musician in your own neighborhood who will teach or mentor you.
