Music

By Braxton Powell

    Music to some people is just a bunch of different instruments making noise, but to me music is life. You can build someone up or you can put someone down, either way, music has a great Effect on people.     I play a few instruments, but my favorite is guitar. To some people a guitar is just a piece of wood with strings on it, but to me, a guitar is an instrument of its own. I feel I can be free on the guitar, I can play with my heart instead of my mind.
    Musical talent is a God given thing; in the Bible He said to make joyful noise.
    Music can change a person’s attitude completely, whether it is good or bad. I use music to unwind when I’m stressed; music changes my day completely around.
    There is so much more to music than some people think, it’s strong and powerful. Music is a relief when I’m having a bad day. Music is more than a hobby to me, it’s a passion that I love.
    I would like to thank Erica Raymond for giving me my first guitar lessons. I would also like to give thanks to God for giving me the talent to play.
