Music- Navigators

The Navigators delved deep into their young minds, and began to think about what music is, and what it was meant to be. They had already written their own definitions of music which we discussed further in class. And then we looked at a quote from Plato-"Music is..wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and charm and gaiety to life and to everything." After drawing little pictures of what came to mind from those phrases, they went a little deeper and started thinking about how those word pictures really do relate to music. They began to talk about how important music is to our everyday lives, and how it affects us. Music reaches into so many areas of our lives, many more than we even realize. Many conversations were opened up about music's affect on us, and God's intent for it. And hopefully we will continue those conversations through the rest of the year, as we follow the progression of music through this time period.
