From Music to Languages

It was music that bound all the people in my mother's and grandfather's families. Everyone was different and we used music to come together. Everyone appreciated beautiful music. And I will never forget the beautiful moments we spent together with beautiful music playing in the background, from morn till night, weekdays and weekends. We all came together despite our differences. It was  music that softened our hearts and made us come together.

From music, the families went on to speak many languages. If I list them all down, it is amazing to see the effect of music on the minds and language acquisition. So the environment plays a very important role in developing the mind.
