Music is Important 11
Some music is timeless and elicits a special reaction every time you hear it. It has been heard before and it has been set in many movies and events and even commercials. It becomes the standard theme you hear when a type of event occurs, a true theme of life at basketball games, school functions, campaigns, and ads. You might think “Don’t Stop Believing” by Journey, but I’m talking about “Carmina Burana” from Carl Orff or Wagner’s “Ride of the Valkyrie”. Music is used to inspire, honor, excite, or create a mood. No matter if you are surrounded by popular music or music from a bygone era of the classical period, we are inspired daily by “keep up the good fight” themes in music. Why is that?
So much of life is difficult.
I was listening to the soundtrack an old 80s movie this week and when the passion was really desperately needed, they resorted to scoring ancient horns and orchestra and when the evil or mysterious things were happening, it was moody and electronic modern movie soundtrack music with ambling melody and the latest synths of the time. I could not help but notice that we need directive and powerful music to cut through the noise of daily doldrums and dawdling days. We need the power of the large ensemble. We need the community of the many instrumentalists playing together, the big choir, and the loud marching group.
We need music to focus us on those heroic and powerful actions we take in giving of ourselves to others, serving a bigger vision than our self, and caring for other human beings physically, mentally, spiritually, and emotionally. We need our big themes and to recognize that for inspiration and action – music is important.

How I got my start with a music business degree from Visible Music College
I’m Taylor Kotke
I graduated from Visible Music College in 2016. I got a music business degree from the Music Business department. Right now, I live in Los Angeles, California and work for a management production group called Faculty Productions.
We’re a division of Live Nation and we have a pretty broad roster of artists. We have some in the Christian music industry like mosaic MSC. I get to handle the day-to-day operations of them. they’re just about to go out on the road on a co-headlining tour with Bethel music in elevation worship. so we’re really excited about that.
Then we also have secular artists like Sabrina Carpenter, new kids on the block, Lea Michele. We also have a lot of developmental clients that I also get to help grow which is really awesome.
I probably couldn’t have gotten where I am without the the music business degree that I got a Visible Music College. it was really challenging. But it was really applicable. it’s something that you really had to work hard at. but if you put the time in then I think you’ll see your work pay off. so thank you Visible!
