What Performing Arts means to me

   In music class we have been recently talking about the performing arts. So today I'll be telling you about what we talked about the performing arts.

   I think that we have the performing arts for entertainment, and to make money. By being a performer you probably made a decision that it would be your job. And in jobs they pay you money. So, I think performers entertain to make money. But, maybe also to see the joys and smiles of people watching you perform. And, if you've never been to a concert, you missed out on a lot because if you're at a concert where your favorite artist is performing, it can be thrilling to see one of your favorite artists right in front of your eyes.

  I'd say that I'm a consumer, performer, and composer. But, I'm mainly a consumer. I perform a lot at school concerts, but other than that I don't perform much. And, just recently in music class  we had an assignment to compose a song with a partner. And that was my first time composing anything, so I'm just barely a composer. I am a big consumer though. In fact on weekends, and I hate to say this, but on weekends I'm basically a couch potato and spend my time watching a TV show. And once in a while I'll go to the movies. Occasionally, I go to some concerts once in a while with my friends and family.

  The performing arts are important to me because without it the world would probably be glum all the time. I can't imagine life without my favorite TV show. Also I can't think what a world would be like without  a cinema. Not only does the performing arts entertain people, but since music is part of the performing arts, I can honestly say that some genres of music really can calm you down and relax you.

  I don't know about any changes the performing arts has made on history, but there was probably a lot of events where music has had a big impact on history.

  I think I can make a change with the performing arts by sending a message, by maybe writing a song. So, people could sing the song , and others would hear the message of the song, and help to change the performing arts.
