Movie directors learned a long time ago that music is an essential part of conveying a story to their viewers. When the director wants you to feel scared they play music that is full of tension, when they want you to feel a warm inside they play very romantic music.
What they have discovered is this; the movie is seen by the eye and the brain interprets the pictures, but the music which is heard by the ear, talks to our inner soul and creates a visceral response. Just think how you felt the first time you watched "Jaws".
Even though there was very little action taking place on the screen, John Williams' music had you scared in the opening credits. This Blog will examine the joy and satisfaction music can provide to someone that plays an instrument, sings or at least learns how to appreciate what it is they are hearing.
