Hello All,
Lets talk about Music today!
MUSIC- This five letter word has been derived from
Greek “Mousike” which means the art of
music. As we have different
personalities, different thinking; we have different meaning of the same word
which vary according to culture and social context.
It can be expressed in
words yet it says a lot by being silent. As there is a great thought by famous
personality Bob Marley, “when it hits you, you feel no pain”.
A word that is
too deep to understand yet so powerful tool to express feelings.
Academy is a place where a subject is studied.
The study of
music is called Musicology. It’s defined into three sub-disciplines: Historic
musicology, comparative musicology and systematic musicology.
Some of the
graduate degrees like The Master of Arts, The Master of Music, and The Doctor
of Philosophy (in Musicology and Music theory).
One of the most recent studies
includes the Doctor of Musical Arts. These degrees are awarded to students on
the basis of the mastery in instrument they play, composition or voice.
The
Master of Music degree is awarded on writing thesis they write. Also, there are
some undergraduate degrees like Bachelor of Music, Bachelor in Music Education
and Bachelor of Arts with major in Music which may take three to five years to
complete. Some people also learn instruments and singing technique as a part of
their program.
But hello, its not as easy as just to cram up things and give an
exam and Viola!! I am done. No, music is a subject which is to be learnt whole-heartedly and requires full dedication and sincere efforts.
This is why these
academies are made which gives an aura to the student to know what exactly this
subject is all about. Amateur musicians perform and compose music for their own
pleasure and when they hold a grip of that, they start doing it as a source of
income.
Its awesome when our passion becomes our source of income, we just love
our work then. These academies make this happen. Professional musicians are
employed by these academies, institutions, organizations, music schools or be
it broadcasting or film production.
Sometimes professional musicians work as
freelancers as well. College students would engage into music events and
concerts and entertain people.One thing you might not know that music has a connection
with the every possible subject you know.
Be it mathematics, psychology,
engineering and what not. Sometimes mathematics is used to understand music by
the music theorist.
One has to dive into the ocean of music to understand how
deep and serene it is.
Some people have lives, some have music!!
Have a musical day ahead!
Love you all!!
Keep Reading! :)
