What is NOT music & What is just BAD music

If you covered your house with a coat of Sherwin-Williams would you call it art?

No.
You painted.
You didn’t create art.

If you closed your eyes and pecked randomly at your computer keyboard would you call it a poem?

No.
You typed.
You didn’t write poetry.

If you put a pair of shoes in the oven would you call it cooking?

No.
You ruined a pair of shoes.
You didn’t make a meal.

If you dropped a television on your foot and screamed in pain would you call it singing?

No.
You made noise.
You didn’t make music.

If you poured a bucket of golf balls on top of a xylophone would you call it a song?

No.
You made noise.
You didn’t make music.

If you took a group of college students and asked them to make sounds using items found in Busch Academic Center, Room 1423 on the afternoon of November 16th would you call it music?

I wouldn’t.
But still, it was fun.

Sound comes in waves
& so does light.
My desk lamp
does not sing to me.
