Music isn't completely aural. It's also very visual.
For example, in percussion class we spend a good bit of time making sure our stick heights are all at the same level. Why? It effects volume, and if it looks clean, it will most likely sound clean. Also, in Wind Ensemble, my director uses the concept of colors to describe the ensemble's sound. The funny thing is that my director is actually colorblind, so he lets us describe our sound. Yellow is bright and high pitched, red is dark and rich, while blues and greens tend to be minor and melancholy.
To capture the real essense of music is to do more than just listen. You have to see it and nearly feel it. It is often said after listening to great music, "it's good, but it was better live".
These are a few of my favorite pictures over the year. Essentially, here's a few pictures of my life.
