Harmony
To say that, presently, we live in an extremely polarised world will be an understatement. Many will agree that disharmony in many parts of the globe is excruciatingly painful at so many levels, especially in the manner misery is inflicted on the dispossessed, disempowered, and disadvantaged sections of societies. And then, the onus of peace is also put on the survivors.
In this seemingly grim scenario, music is something that has the potential to connect hearts and minds and spread the universal message of harmony. In music, harmony is the amalgamation of simultaneous sounds of different pitches, making chords to create harmony in singing and harmony between various musical instruments. Musical harmony involves artistic endeavours.
Ensuring harmony and confluence in a modern society without bitterness or uncontrolled anger remains a tough challenge, though. On our planet, competitive existence is still possible if we choose wisely, engage with music in imaginative ways, and reconnect with nature to find synchronisation and a harmonious relationship. At any rate, the objective should be not to lose our soul, and not to strike a discordant note. This can be made possible by working closely with the next generation. Remember, today’s children are tomorrow’s future!
It is an irrefutable fact that anger is distasteful any day. Angry athletes make mistakes. However, harmony allows us to channelize anger or frustration in a positive direction to spread the message of love, empathy and kindness. But, how can we make this happen? It is indeed possible through musical harmony, by finding refuge in nature's lap, and by striking a balance between our body and mind.
Because we believe everyone should feel comfortable in their own skin.
Musical Musings
People often talk about the word harmony in everyday conversation. But, what is harmony? What is harmony in music? Music transcends all boundaries and connects us to a wider world as global citizens and ambassadors of Our cultures.
Catch them young
