Music is an intrinsic part of us all. Our breathing, movement and heartbeat – each consists of rhythm and pulse. Melody is produced in our laughing, crying or singing. These personal connections with music make it a creative and motivating medium which can stimulate, calm, or inspire us consciously or subconsciously.
