Rational and Emotional Aspects of Music

8 月 13, 2024

Rational:

  • Theory 
  • Rhythm and Meter 
  • Scales and Tonality 
  • Arrangement
  • Technical Training 
  • Orchestration 

Emotional:

  • Emotional Expression 
  • Musical Expression 
  • Resonance and Empathy 
  • Improvisation 

My emotional thinking is inherently embedded in my genes, so I spent a long time training my rational thinking. My intuition is strong, making it easy for me to understand the musical mood, the underlying message, the expression, and the composer’s ideas. I used to often wonder what the composer might have gone through to write such torn and painful music. As I grew up and experienced life and its inevitabilities, it seems that, unconsciously, I’ve developed a deeper interpretation of music.
