The,guitar is an instrument much liked by college students. Whats your attitude towards guitar music?,2.,What do you think about the statement Music is human?,Unit 11,Power of Music,Music Has Power,Guitar music is a place where the elements of,rhythm, tone, emotions, harmony, poetry, preparation, friendship, intellect, physical training and spirituality all meet. It,involves,your spirit, your body, your heart and your mind, and it is both a solitary and a social act.

Music is not something your hands or your voice do. It is not something your mind does. At its finest it is a transcendental state that involves all parts of you, and allows you to exist on the crest of a wave, in the exact moment of the present as you perform each part of the music. It is only there, in the present that we can truly live and have control over our lives, since the past and future are,inaccessible,to us. When you are deeply involved in music and when you have control of it, you can experience an excitement and a sense of well-being that is impossible to copy. The sensation,of the pleasure of music making is the primary thing a student of music must focus on. If enough time is spent in,joyous,music making,参考译文,back,Unit 11,Power of Music,本页录音,全文录音,and if the desire to share and transmit this feeling is strong and sincere, the hands will train themselves and the voice will find its true expression. One cannot hurry the process; you must instead enjoy and cherish it as it slowly,unfolds,. There is a truly freedom in being a beginner that you may look back on some day. The desire to be something,other than,what you are will stop your ability to grow, and the amount of pleasure that music brings is,relatively,constant,. If you are not experiencing that pleasure and fulfillment as a student, then you must learn how to do that before you can go further. The magic that is music comes from such a place inside us.
