Introduction

My days pass like flight of the bumble bee with few pauses to take a breath. My thoughts and emotions are like Smetana’s Moldou. My life is sometimes out of time like Bebop and I still swing between being a child and grown up.

Beethoven made me realize that I can see music just as well as hear it. Vivaldi sits under a tree to compose more inspirational music in my mind and both Bach’s are busy making the soundtrack to my life. Sometimes I feel like the Blues, but in an instant I can stand up and be back in the twentieth century.

Music is my muse.

Hi, I’m Melanie. A 21 year old student from South Africa. I’m studying to be a teacher one day and hopefully will go into psychology. Music is my life, ever since I can remember Queen and Roxette played in our house and I just knew that somehow, someday it will be what I want to do. I play a few instruments, but not as good as I wish I could. I don’t really follow the ‘rules’ when it comes to music theory, but if we all did, then we wouldn’t have Claude DeBussy.

This blog is going to be about the history of music, songs, musical movies and genres. Nothing too serious, but also something that will make you breathless. Feel free to speak your mind; it’s always good to know what someone else thinks of something specific.

Let every step be a beat and your voice the melody. What do you want to tell the world when they listen to your song?
