shining eyes

music has been used to help people open their minds and create joyful harmonies that bring out the best in themselves and their colleagues.
majority of people think classical music is dying. some say you havent seen nothing yet. 45% are passionate about classical music. there is a bigger group that contains people who dont mind classical music. and the last group never listens to classical music. unfortunatly, the third group is the largest.
some people claim to be tone deaf. all of you "tone deaf" people, stop lying, no one is tone deaf. we all have a wonderful ear. otherwise, how can you tell someone with an american accent and someone with a russian accent apart.
deceptive cadence, where everyone can tell what the next note will be. take Chopin for example, his piece wants to go B to E. he lengthens out till we find home (E). We all know where home is. Stop thinking about every single detail in life and take a look at the big picture, longline vision.
a conductor gets much of the credit for a piece of music. it depends on the conductors power to make the power of the music. to awaken possibilities in other people. if you achieve this, you will know. how? if you get shining eyes your doing it. if not, who am i being that my childrens eyes are not shining.
it truly makes a difference what we say. never say anything if it cant be the last thing you ever say.
classical music is for everyone, even you, you just dont know it yet.
