* Reflections on music - playing it, listening to it and more

I once read art is kindness beautified ....., something like that

We can listen to music for various reasons,  maybe just "relax us" and loosen up loosening up Which is better than not listening at all, and helpful to change our moods

There are  other levels of experiencing music and music potential in our lives too however.

The feelings, perceptions , that music reflects are in our hearts anyway, but maybe to some extent a bit hidden from view. Not just feelings of happiness and sadness but attitudes towards life. Like empathy compassion and just the joyfulness of it .

 Some pieces of music evoke very deep concepts of  deep sense of freedom as a human race , like  John Lennon's "Imagine" when combining with inspired words , but he uses a simple relaxing repetitive almost chant type of tune also to open us to these ideas ,

 Albinoni's "adagio" touches deep areas of stillness and compassion for others suffering without any words at all , depending on how one is listening

Then music can be reawakening of them. Some of these articles are just to take a moment out of a day to remind ourselves of music place in our lives.

SO it follows that to play music also must be able to change us. We can learn to use music to channel deeper parts of ourselves when playing , leaving behind our conceptual habitual thinking ..


Business is often so sterile and in fact sometimes can embody qualities the opposite of compassion such as as greed depending on motives.  We are musicians who still after 30 years continue to play at events  and for the joy of music, and also music teachers previously.

Whilst we cannot make enough income from that alone,  we are grateful for the extra support we get from our you our buyers from Skysun and musicians in brother/sisterhood we meet here too.

Hope you enjoy some of the articles below.
