After reading "A Wagner Matinee", discuss the influence of music in your life. Does music bring tears to your eyes or is it just a joy to listen to? Explain. Does it take you away from the real world for a while like it did for Georgiana? Why?
I used to think that music was pointless, but I have since grown to greatly appreciate and even depend upon it. Personally, music has a profound impact on my life. Like Georgiana, it can take me away from whatever is going on in my life to a place where things might be simpler, easier, or just different. With music, I don’t have to worry about what is happening right now or what decisions I have to make. Everything just disappears, and all I have to focus on is the song. I tend to connect experiences with different songs so that whenever I hear a specific song, I am reminded of that particular experience, good or bad. It is in this way that music becomes much more than just something to listen to- it becomes an audible container for memories and emotions. -Katrina Hauser
I defiantly would really miss music if I was to not be able to listen to it for a period of time. I think music is a good way to block out what’s going around you and just relax. I feel that music allows me to listen to people’s emotions and their thoughts. I think it allows me to relax and be able to disconnect from the world for a little while like it did for Georgiana because when I listen to music it’s like you’re in a different zone. I get made when I can’t listen to music like what our school is doing now because I feel I do better when I listen to music. –Tony Scalise
