As a music education major, it is no secret that I find music to be the utmost influential art form to affect humanity. There are so many different elements music brings to the table that can impact people in various ways. Music simultaneously imitates the real world while also lighting up the world within the interpreter. The way a single tone or chord can overwhelm a listener with a plethora of emotions is truly astonishing. Artists such as Beyoncé and Jay Z dominate the music industry as their works rack in more money than creators like Elvis Presley could have even imagined. There are so many different musical styles that relay a message in which its purpose is to move the listener. To list a few, the blues, hip-hop, and classical are just three musical genres that can make an observer feel something by simply listening.
