LIFE WITHOUT MUSIC
Could you imagine what life would be without music? No sweet lullabies, no romantic ballads, no happy folksongs nor arousing symphonies... what a boring scene! Music has a powerful influence in human emotions: it relaxes and excites us, it inspires us, fills us with joy and makes us cry. But music can also be a matter of discussion with your parents.. they sometimes don' t approve your musical preferences!
What kind of music do you listen to ? What does it talk about?
How does it influence the way you feel?
