Taste in Music

As part of being an individual, we have each developed our own personal taste in music. The vast variety of genres that exist are numerous and still growing, from the classical compositions, to the new wave of electronic made possible by computers. Music helps different people achieve different things. Some use music as a therapeutic gateway of inspiration. Others simply enjoy the mash of sounds that create a singular work. Music has been the inspiration of many achievements. Music can be seen everywhere, including nature, as done by birds who sing sweet melodious tunes. Sadly, there still exist those who cannot enjoy the sound produced by various things. Amazingly, though they make lack the sense of hearing, they can adapt to sound through other means such as vibrations:

One individual who continued to enjoy music regardless of this disability was Ludwig van Beethoven, who lost his hearing at the age of 26. It is even harder to imagine someone who not only was an music enthusiast, but also composed music, losing their sense of hearing. It is truly inspirational the things music allows us to do.
