The Majestic Keys

I shall say that instruments are the most beautiful things that ever been created by man, and out of several instruments one stands out from all. Its the only instrument that the great Maestro Ludwig Van Beethoven used. The piano, the only instrument that gives out the melodious vibe to whoever that plays it. It came to my thought that the piano has given great composition to the community, that without this instrument Beethoven or even Amadeus Mozart will not be able to do their great composition. The piano is created by keys which is parted in two way, one is the black keys and another is the white keys.

The early history of this instrument that it was created by Bartolomeo Cristofori in Florence Italy at year 1700's. Bartolomeo was a harpischord craftsman for the Italy's Royal court. His invention was simple and he called it as gravecembolo  col piano el forte, which means keyboard instrument that is soft and loud. His design was simple but it become popular among the aristocrats and the elite's by 1730's. Although it was expensive during those times, wealthy families brought up legends of pianist such as Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. As time passed by, piano was introduced in the United States and was used to described dynamic war into melodious way. Ludwig Van Beethoven saw the real potential of this instrument and went to another level. His composition of his 6th and 9th symphony was amazing. His creation was so amusing that without this particular instrument, his symphony would not have been given life.

As times and a new Era has begun, so has technology was introduced and this magnificent instrument has been transformed into an electronic instrument which called a keyboard. Although both instruments are the same, the keyboard has some special features. With the current technologies, special effects and types of musical instruments sounds are being created together as one into a keyboard. This way keyboardist are able to do wonders with their creativity to use all the special effects and sounds that is in it. When it come to a certain genre like melody, slow jazz or even rock and roll, the piano gives out equally as the rest. This instrument is able to reach out to people with various techniques that is been played and genre like melody is one the standing point for this instrument. With its Majestic Keys, wonders can happen and many can fall for its simple music.

A Warrior's Weapon

A perfect beat represents who we are and for thousands of years, drums represents a perfect beat. Whether if its a war, a battle, a distress call or even a warning, drums have proven to be the perfect instrument or shall I say the perfect weapon to show out one's true emotions. Even military uses their marching band to as an act of a battle music. During the English Civil War,snare drums were used by the junior officers to relay commands from their senior officers as a noise of battle. One of the oldest drums was called the Tiako Drum which created in 300 B.C by the Japanese but was introduced by the Koreans.

The foot operated bass drum was introduced by Ludwig or Ludwig.Co.The first drum kit was introduced by Ben Duncan in 1930's with other experiments on how to improvise drumming and arrangement of a bass drum, snare, high-hats and tom-tom's. During the ancient times, the tribal societies used drums as a celebration of victory and also to worship their God's. Its proven in all history and time that drum was the first instrument used as way to express one's feelings as well. But its not easy to play this magnificent instrument. It takes a lot of time and practice to get an individual timing and beat at precise right moment. Creativity helps to build a new drumming beat and also improve on the technique of solos we used in this new version of drums.

Great drummers such as Mike Portnoy Bill Bruford, and Neil Peart have shown great and awesome drumming in most genre's of music. Their skill and technique are remarkable and beautiful. They after all created drumming history. By doing the first drum solos, they were able to captivate many people and proved that drums aren't noise but a great instrument of music. Today no music is ever created without a beat, whether if its a percussion jemba to a bass. Without a beat there is no life in a music. The best way to put this instrument is that it represents a true warrior heart. The stronger he is the better the beat is going to be regardless if the drummer is literate, for a true warrior weapon is showing the powerful beats to taunt their enemies and to shake them fiercely.

The Epic Trio.

With a different perspective, everyday objects becomes our instrument. A lot came to me as i went through and as a musician, Guitars always stood as an hero in my sight. I have no specific reason why i became so fond over guitar but it just as an liking i guess. I find that guitar is the only instrument that stands among all because its travel easy, its beautiful to play and the most creative instrument to play. When it come to guitar, you can just go insane or you can just let the strings do the magic. Rock and Metal won't be completed without a guitar , so as Blues and Jazz. Any genre of music that we listen now days is not completed without a six stringed instrument.

The latin word for guitar is actually called as "chitara", and it before that is was actually called as "chordophones". The name differs as time moves on but the main idea was invented by a Hittite when he was carving a 3,300 year old stone and playing a stringed instrument. As time moves by this instrument evolved and become to a big box with a long neck and six strings attached to it. There are three types of guitars. The first is the classical guitar which of course is perfect for a melodious tone and perfect for plucking. Beginner guitarist use classical guitar as a platform to build up their skills. The second is the acoustic which is good for plucking and mostly used to play rhythm. This type of guitar is commonly used by many professionals and beginners to strum or just create melodies. The last is my favourite which is the electric guitar that can probably make you go insane. Why do i say insane because it is so fun to play once beginners understand goes to this level. By plugging it to a power pack amplifier and there comes the Rock and Metal version of any song. Electric guitars can also be used to play creative music by mixing effects. This is done by effects pedal.

I would say the finest instrument ever created is probably the guitar. No other instrument can do several effects and also able to do melodious tone. Its just impossible to perform a Rock genre on keyboard and so as playing a melodious tone on the drum. But of course no instrument is lack of creativity, just that how a musician actually plays it. A guitar on the other hand, its just beautiful. The only negative part of a guitar is that it takes a lot of time and patience to learn this instrument. And often beginners tend give up because it becomes to painful for their fingers. But they don't understand the beautiful reward at the end.

A little Boy's experience

I have been telling countless ways and illustrations of  How music is suppose to be ? Do we really need music instruments to show our true inner being? Do we really need music as way to express our feelings? and Do we really know what music is? What is the best instruments in all? WOW!! A lot of question just came up. For me to be telling about music I have to understand and also have a little bit of experience as well. Well for me, my past speaks a lot. The way I experience music was a tremendous way and I never expected in my life that I would be here sharing a little bit of  knowledge of music to others because it never occurred to me that music was so inspiring.

I use to watch many musician as I grow up, whether if its a drummer or a guitarist even a keyboardist. I like speaking less and I like my actions to talk behalf of me, based on that I speak less or I rather not speak at all. Although I had a lot to say, words were just normal ink with lines and it cannot express the way I felt. I was never a well literate in the music field and I used to spend a lot of time playing in my computer, that's how I used to express my feelings. Sometimes you cannot believe what you see instead believe in what you feel. That was me. Music was an accident in my life but now it became a part of my life.

A lot of terrible memories happened and words were nothing me. All those pain and emptiness I felt no one could understand. I never like telling either, instead this wonderful way of making people happy and also making them understand how I felt without me actually talking. It was a wonderful way and the best way. Its no use telling people how I felt, instead let me show them. It was no easy run, a lot of practice and lot of blocks, but the passion I had on this was so tremendous that I was willing to face world's end if I have to. Pain and misery speaks a lot in my life, then a sudden way of joy came to me and well what do you I BECAME A GUY WHO KNOWS MUSIC! Not in a professional standard but as an amateur I guess. So for me music is the best way to know your self, based on my experience. You don't need an instrument just be your self because music is a divine way of telling people how you really feel instead of just mere words.

Simplicity of Music

It was proved that music just need a sense of feelings and emotions to really be created. Now I was watching this video the other day and it just astounded me that just a normal vocalist can great note and chords progression. Its not something to be amazed when coming to singing but the way it was demonstrated was extraordinary. By using just a simple acoustic guitar and beautiful chord progression, it was just amazing. Now the best part is that its simple music and of my favourite songs "Rather Be by Clean Bandit" .

You don't actually need great instruments to show the real true of your self. The best is just doing the the stuffs you really know and show the best of it, but always open a room for opportunity to learn others stuffs as well. A precise musician always does the following opening a room of ideas and let creativity flows into place. A discussion was made of "How does a musician is been born"? It never really understood that phrase cause for me each and every one us are musicians in a way. We don't really need an instrument to show us off, instead we are as instruments in away.

Showing off our emotions through typical daily life. Must we really need an instrument? Must we really understand music?  Just as it states "Believe in your self and take a leap of faith". The video above is just a part what of understanding of a simple music and that music has no boundaries, its us that create that limits. Sometimes we can always just listen and enjoy a certain genre of music, certain music after has the capabilities to make one feel too much I guess. For me this is just one of it. 

A Beautiful instrument show's who you are.

A precise instrument is always a best way to illustrate the way you feel and to show how well you can play. I was watching a video the other day and to realise that a guitarist can play so well without and classes just astounded me. As said everyone uses a medium to express music, as a normal musician they do need an instrument. My preferences is would be a guitar because it is easy to play, light weighted, travel easy and of course it is the Hero among all the instruments.

The one the best examples by Cole Rolland showing off his awesome Riffs and skills by playing one of my favourite songs "Counting Stars" by One Republic. The best way to show the true Hero of a guitar. Guitar is one of the most hard rock and melodious instrument I ever seen and played. Just like a precise musician showing of it takes time and practice. Although many give up this fantastic instrument due to fingers and hand pain they fail to understand the simplicity and beautiful music that is created through this instrument.

Passion of a Dreamer

Psychologist research proves that Music is so influential on the brain that it actually has the ability to change an individual way of thinking. Statistics has a number of 85% of people use music as a medium to release their stress.Music is so wide that it so happens that I just can't put finger to describe it. Just like an well oil rigged machine no music is created without an instrument. But do we really need classes or lesson just to learn a certain instrument? I guess not really.

I am surprised that many talented musician just learn many music instruments just by ear, they don't really need classes and lesson. As a matter of fact, internet is their teacher and the environment is their motivation. To learn a music instrument all you really need is concentration, determination, passion and just a lot of practise. The only differences between a well literate musician and just a talented musician learning by ear is that the other can actually understand the notes in the paper while the other just sees symbols and lines around. But in reality both musician are not very different just the nature of learning is different that's all.

With a little creativity and little hard-work everything is possible, not only is music field but in every field that we pursue. Everything is possible if we have creativity and a lot of hard work. If I were to put an estimation on how long does it take to learn an musical instrument, it would take three years plus. Knowledge is vast that it can't be measured and it can be obtained anywhere we go. Knowledge is actually how well an individual is able to understand certain topics or criteria. Music knowledge can be obtained through as well. Music so extraordinary that many fail to obtain knowledge of it, maybe because it is because the lack of passion or interest. Some people rather listen to music than be the ones who created it but at the end of the music knowledge is everywhere.

Music is Everywhere

When it comes to music it makes me wonder more and more, its like never endless and it keeps on going. And no music is ever great without precise instruments. A simple music melody comes with a fusion of Guitars, Bass, Keyboards, Drums and Percussions, that's what I assumed . Then it make me wonder how did the old times create music. During Beethoven times, its full of flutes, clarinets, bassoons, horns, trumpets, timpani, cymbals and even a triangle. It came to a thought of me then that everything that we do in our life has music imparted.

A simple knock on the door or even a kick of football has music in it. Without a little music or noise there is no life in anything. With just a little coordination everything we use can be transformed as an music instruments including parts in our body. Beat boxers are the one the best examples as percussionist using nothing but their mouths, and the best part is that every beat they do is just little bit of themselves in, which makes that twice as more admirable and creative.

I used to wonder that music is only created through instruments, until one day when I was sitting down at a park located near my house and the various sound and noise was like music to my ears. The birds chirping, the sound of the mellow breeze even the squeak at the see-saw, with the combination of this sounds then came a wonderful melody. A true musician sees music wherever he/her goes and everything that inspire him/her, same thing goes for a poet also I guess. A precise instrument for musician is everything that inspire him the most even a whistle or clap. That is how music is created with precise instruments.

Song and Music? Okey what's the diffrences?

Music in a way connects us in every way.  Many people always get confused with songs and music but they are far apart then the other. Just like music a simple poetry speaks a lot of an individual feelings but instead of an music instrument to express, a poet just need a paper , pencil and his/her feelings and Voila! A poetry has been created.

Like most songs it tell us of  how we feel about things we like or dislike. Psychology fact a person needs just three things to be truly happy in the world: someone to love, something to do, and something to hope for. With this three elements a song , a poet and even music compositions are created. Now people always ask me " Whats the difference between a song and music". I don't usually understand this question then one day i realized that the answer was on the tip of my nose. Music has various genres and types of chords progression and with this two combine a composition has been formed. Now a song is actually a poetry written with types of  rhyme, stanza and theme. Now lets merge a simple poetry and little creativity of music and there u have it. a song has been created.

Without music and poetry there won't be any songs, and i am trying to imagine the world without any music and songs. Its takes just two things that make a song  popular or viral which is either the music or the words that is captivating and it reaches through the people. As time goes by so as the evolution of music and also the nostalgic genres of songs that is created. So Music and songs are far apart but similar, although both has the same factor which is used as a medium to express an individual feelings and passion.

A Maestro like Beethoven.

What is music ?? Its a vast diversion of community sharing their feelings out in a way that is attractive for others. The best way to understanding music is understanding your feelings. Music is directly linked to an individual feelings based on the situation they are going through. One of the example is none other than the great Beethoven himself. Most of his famous music composition were astounding. But it came to my idea " How did Beethoven got all his ideas or composition". What actually made him to create music that is captivating?

Most of  Beethoven famous composition was created after he was deaf? Now is this a gift of God or is he really a Maestro of music? Various question shall rise when it comes to Beethoven. But the main fundamental idea was Beethoven passion in music made him a genius. His feelings of others and all that  he went through was the one that made him compose such great music. We can ask how did he got the idea? Or what drove him to compose music? A simple understanding is passion, desire and deep feelings of how he felt.

In every single day in whatever we do it draws us feel something, whether if you're sad, happy, wonderful, blessed or just being bored. Everyone uses a medium to express our feelings out in way and music in my perspective is a method just to express our feelings out. In a way music is the best way just to be calm and relaxed in a stressful day. So in a nutshell music is drawn by passion and desire and is used as a medium to express our feelings.
