From the first day I study music, I have been hearing saying like this from everywhere (from professional to amateur musicians) --Expressing yourself in music is more important than singing (or playing) with right technique.
Well, that is partially true. Yes, no one would like to hear a machine singing or playing the piano. However, do you know how to express yourself in music?
We always hear the comments from some people saying that some performers are full of emotion and passion in their performing, they make people cry in this way.
Well, wake up!
Can you really tell a person singing with all heart or expressing the mood? I bet you not.
You can not feel it because very few musicians do it during their concerts.
You cannot hear it. You are just trying to squeeze tears out of your eyes because you feel you have to and other people say that this musician is full of emotions.....
Isn't that familiar with the story you and I have read from our very young age?
'The Emperor's New Clothes' !
Yes, people could not see anything on the emperor but they still pretended they did because they did not want to be called fool. Everyone kept pretending how much they appreciate their king's new fashion, until one kid, pointed out the truth, 'The king is naked! ' .
No! you cannot feel the expression in music. There's nothing wrong with your ear and your feeling. It's because those so- called 'musicians' do not know anything about music but create another level of noise. Somehow they are so famous because the media say so, therefore audience should be admiring them and people pretend they understand everything the so called musicians express.
But actually they do not express anything. They show you only weired facial expressions and monkey dances, which is accompanied by another level of noise.
