Since there are some music lovers here, how important is music to you and why?

Really I was just listening to some OSTs and really, as much as music is important for me getting through the days and coping with stress and everything, music is more of a passion and hobby beyond that at this point.

As many know, I play the trumpet and have been for the past like.... eight years? Maybe more, its too warm here to count, but like.... I dont really know anything other than maybe RPing that I feel better and more relaxed doing.

Like I just love my trumpet so much and Id love to play the other brass instruments, most notably the flugelhorn (Ive played it and I like it just as much as the trumpet) and the mellophone / french horn. I would think of other instruments, but Im simply not that good at rhythm for percussion nor am I coordinated enough to manage so many other keys. Plus i adore brass instruments

Then theres the whole part of analyzing music in the sheer composure that is wonderful and just keying out specific parts and ahh.... its just so nice

And dont get me started on DCI or marching band cos i could write paragraphs on that.

Then theres the whole coping mechanism and functionability that comes with just listening to any music so...
