Ryan's Q: What makes music come alive?
Ryan's A: When I play music that makes me feel happy.
Good question, Ryan.
Music is organised sounds which is usually expressed in terms of elements of music: rhythm, pitch, timbre, texture, dynamics and articulation. Silence is also music.
In 1952, David Tudor walked on stage, sat down in front of a piano for four minutes and thirty-three seconds and did nothing. The piece 4'33'' written by John Cage, became one of the most famous and important piece in 21st century music, breaking all conventional music traditions. Cage believes that the primary act of a musical performing is not the performance itself but listening. By listening to what you play and making sense of how you play, you are enjoying the process of music making. Music comes alive when it is interconnected with your emotions and feelings.

He is kind of funny. He lost weight cos of school (hectic) and he fell ill for 4 days. I was like taking care of him, he asked, "Why mummy you are so caring?" So funny that your child tells you that. Isn't it a mommy's duty to be caring?
