Reading - Music in Our Lives

Music in Our Lives

Music is an important part of our lives. People listen to music when they are happy, sad, or even when they want to relax. Music can help us express our emotions.

There are many types of music: pop, rock, jazz, classical, and more. Each style is unique. For example, classical music is often soft and calm, while rock music is loud and energetic.

Musicians work hard to create songs that people love. Some play instruments like the piano or the guitar. Others sing or write lyrics. Music brings people together. At concerts, people dance, sing, and feel connected.

In many countries, schools have music classes. Children learn to play instruments or sing in a choir. Music education is important because it helps children develop creativity and discipline.
