Music's Importance in Our Society
Art and music are essential aspects of human life. Humanity and art can’t exist without each other. We have a strong drive to create something, no matter how small or vast it may be. Sound contact is unavoidable, whether you’re making it or enjoying it. People have long valued music in their lives, whether for listening pleasure, emotional response, performance, or creation. This is true of both classical and modern concert music. Both kinds of music are quite valuable to our society; but, as we all know, the problem in this field is that it is rarely understood and hence underestimated. As a musician and artist, it is my obligation to teach others how to appreciate the art form in which I am completely immersed.
It goes without saying that classical or concert music is not a significant part of most people’s lives in mainstream American culture. There are still stigmas, as well as government actions over the last two decades, that contribute to this (declining music education in schools on the local level, resistance to increased NEA funding, and less visibility of the arts on the national level; let us hope that the Obama administration can start to reverse these trends). Many people still think classical music is exclusive for the wealthy, elderly, and well-educated.
Others may feel self-conscious about attending classical music events because they believe they must act and dress in that way in order to gain admission to the performance or recital hall. Furthermore, some television shows, ads, plays, books, influential people, and even musicians themselves, which remove musicians from the general culture, amplify the pretension and elitism displayed by some artists.
