TOPIC: COMMUNICATION THROUGH MUSIC

According to Corke M, Music can impact on mind, body and spirit. Communication through music is an approach which has been devised to develop fundamental communication and social interaction skills. This approach combines many components including visual, tactile and essentially person centered approaches with music.Music has powerful role in society because it can induce multiple responses physiological, movement, mood, emotional, cognitive and behavioral . It is powerful at the level of the social group because it facilitates communication which goes beyond words, enables meanings to be shared, and promotes the development and maintenance of individual, group, cultural and national identities. Though there are many different kinds of music, it is only one and the same. Music is used as a powerful tool for communication for thousand of years. People can use music in their lives to manipulate their moods, alleviate the boredom of tedious tasks, and create environments appropriate for particular social events. Music is used as second language for communication by humans and animals . Birds can "talk" with one another in sophisticated ways even though they do not have the kind of tongue or teeth we need to form words. They make different types of sounds for communication in different situations. today, music is one of the few ways in which people can connect with each other without language, it is one way in which cultures can not only identify themselves but also communicate with each other and find common ground. there is always a meaning behind the sounds. Sometimes that meaning is quite basic, at other times, the meaning can be very complex and strongly connected to the beliefs and practices of that culture.

Many people take lyrics seriously When a musician delivers a message it can be heard worldwide. Music is a subject that can bring people who have never seen each other before together, and form a bond that is hard to break. Peoples interest in music, and the message it delivers, creates discussions and changes attitudes.
