"The primal element in music is vibration. Sound-waves in some ordered sequence—silent till they strike our ears—are formed by our ingenuity and sense of order into patterns of beauty. They exist in time, not in space. They are motion. And these vibrations are the very substance of all life; of stars in their courses, of the pulse-beats of the heart, of the mysterious communications from the nerves to the brain, of light, of heat, of color." ~ Thomas Whitney Surette

Music is an important part of our life and one of the universal cultural aspects of all human societies. This beautiful art of arranging sounds in time to produce a composition through the elements of melody, harmony, rhythm, and timbre plays a key role in our religious rituals, marriage, graduation, social activities, and great number of our other cultural activities. We all need music because it is a fluent, free, and beautiful form of expression for those deeper impulses of ours which are denied expression by words.
