Music

What is music?
Is it notes on a page?
Is it chords, arpeggios, scales, sharps, or flats?
Is it melody, harmony, alto, or bass?
Maybe.
Or,
Maybe,
It is the calming effect on a crying child.
It is the calming effect on you after a bad day.
It is the feel of the keys under your fingers.
It is knowing that you are capable of creating something beautiful.
It is feelings of anguish, sadness, love, and happiness.
It is emotion.
It is you.
