Objective of Music School

2. To provide a means of recreation for our future life.

Humans need to relax. Music one means of relaxation. At work, we can be
productive. In studies, music can serve as a means of setting the mind and tunes
out distractions. Exercise makes a fun. Music compelled us to cry, laugh or
worship. Life is not a work-all-day drama. Music is there to relieve stress. It can
induce a deep sleep.
Music is not a science that established principle. The technicality or musicality
cannot have a specific characterization. It is more of a feeling and thought. Then it
is impractically impossible to define or categorize all music.
