Sharon always has content to back up what she says but I just do not know if I agree with her wholeheartedly on this matter but nonetheless the article is compelling??

Macsimum Moment

Commentary, videos, pictures, and MP3 format are the contributing media on this blog that pertains to Arts and Culture in general. Promoting a sense of "Class" and the conceptual application of such in many different genres as occurring presently is something "good" and maybe even great. Also Arts and the Brain, especially the Creative and Performing Arts and their cognitive role in a general sense are discussion topics. Brain entrainment is covered to some degree. Mostly Music and the Brain, and Brain related wellness are topics focused upon as society continues to relate to and interact with people across the board who are living with a particular brain related diagnosis. Ensembles, Ensembles, Ensembles, small and large are being promoted for their role artistically of course but for their role in fostering good koinonia, community, or fellowship,...The proper choice of music for a particular setting and its application can foster good well-being for a group or individual. Premature choices can have a consequence as we all may have experienced at some point and time. Choices of Musical pieces in a general sense do actually matter at some point for the listener at hand. This blog along with millions of others are perhaps a worthy and/or contributing resource of information. Even on a small level of measurement, for the lover of Music and the fulfilling and edifying nature of the Arts as a whole, maybe the aspect of "Quality" and its meaningful role can be more identifiable. Quality can perhaps be seen or heard when choices become more clear in both the listening and visual aspects of certain pieces and the overall elements of Music and the Arts period. Celebrating life and enjoying being who we are on a daily basis can occur and is occurring for millions across the globe due to the Arts. Especially Arts' communicative role and the ability of such a language within itself communicates and eventually cultivates the relationships that are vital to each one of us.
