Music is undoubtedly one of the oldest art forms, utilizing the human voice and body as natural instruments and means of self-expression. It is an art form that comes into the world with us. We live with our mother’s heartbeat and respiration and subtle rhythms of metabolic and brain wave activity. We are all basically musical and can develop that capacity in ourselves and in others. We can very well say that we all are musically intelligent. We use our Musical intelligence when we play music to calm or stimulate ourselves. This intelligence is active when we use tones and rhythmic patterns (instrumental, human, and environmental) to communicate how we are feeling and what we believe (for example, the sounds of intense joy, fear, excitement, and loss), or to express the depth of our religious devotion or the intensity of our school loyalty.

Plato says that “Music is a moral law. It gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and charm and gaiety to life and to everything.”
