Language is part of our daily lives, no matter where we live. Similarly, music is part of many
people’s lives. Both language and music play a huge role in our culture, and here are some of
their similarities. Both language and music have a writing system. In English, we record
language using a collection of letters. Similarly, we use notes to keep a record of music. Just as
you are reading this collection of letters and find meaning in it, musicians read notes and create
meaning in the form of music. By writing pieces of text or music, we are able to share
experiences through time. Both vary with culture. You can make a good guess at where
someone is from by listening to the language they use. In the same way, we know that styles of
music are different around the world, giving us the opportunity to explore many different
cultures through their music and providing us with music for every situation. Both share
emotion. Of course you may be able to see my feelings in my face, but you will know for sure
through my words. Similarly, music can show you exactly how the composer was or is feeling,
and allows us to share in that emotion. When you feel happy, you might want to sing and dance

to a happy song to celebrate your happiness. In contrast, you have probably also listened to

often combining it with language in the form of song lyrics.
