We all know the music is pretty inspirational thing. We you’re in a parade or on a stage, maybe even marching on a football field…people take notice. The melody of an instrument or the smooth sound of a singer’s voice can often times leave people standing in their tracks. And in many situations it can lift a person’s spirits, bring pride to a community or even increase the enthusiasm of fans watching a football game.
But to inspire, one must first be inspired. Very few musicians have the natural talent of a legendary guy like Mozart, a man who seemed born to create beautiful music. But most of us (including the mega-popular Christina Aguilera who debuted on the talent Show “Star Search” at a very young age) need endless practicing to get our music to the level of performance quality art. But that takes work…A LOT of work.
What exactly is it that motivates musicians to work tirelessly to improve their musical talent? What inspires them? What inspires you? Somewhere along the way you’ve been encouraged, inspired and motivated. What happened to make you endure the countless weekends and summers spent with band mates, participating in band camp? Was there a role model in your life that made you want to be a musician? Maybe a parent, a friend or an older brother or sister who has had a big impact on your life? Or was it something entirely different? Maybe it’s simply the music itself that inspires you to practice and improve day after day.
Whatever the reason, share with us some stories of the people and things that inspired you to become a musician. We’ll share your feedback with other readers on the next newsletter. You never know, your words might just be inspirational to someone else.
