Music is important to me because I’m unsure what to do without it. Music has always been a big part of my life, even before I started playing viola. It has always made me feel happy, peaceful, and excited, and it distracts me from things such as stress from school. Another reason that music is important to me is that everybody likes music, and it is something that everyone can relate to. Not everybody likes the same kind of music, but everyone enjoys it, allowing me to bond with others over our shared love of music.
