As we are living in the world in which peoples are searching/ looking to find joy, happiness, and recreation from the things, which made them worried, or annexed either by being or doing something. There may be many things, which people try to be, or to do. Music is one of the things, which people have been using it to be delivered from problems, to get joy and to feel freedom either by listening or composing/ being an artist.
As I grew and living in the society, who has love, respect, and great appreciation for a music from ancient times either in church or anywhere for any kinds of music, which people classify in any categories. Contrary, there may be problems to be solved in order to have better music to the society to help

It is a loudness of musical instruments rather than a voice of singer/artist at the stage. In order to come across with one simple solution, let me take Ethiopian evangelical church broadly. I will address only the church music because it may be tough to solve this problem from the whole music of Ethiopia; as a result of different groups/organizations have their own policy and conditions, and church music is different from the other music’s institution.
Anytime, peoples go either church or concert to have a fellowship with others to glorify their God, or to get answers for their problems through worship or listening the singer, or to have a fun, and there may be more reasons to go there depending on every once purpose. Personally, I go church to glorify God in-group with others through the programs the church has. Worship is believed as the most interesting and the way to come down the heavens, to be free from what a problem/question a person has and it is the way in which all people will come together to do the rest of the ceremony in the

In the church also there are different groups of people, according to the age, each person’s level of knowledge and understanding every person has for music, and many more. I feel usually something is going wrong/ not understood in worship time and I start to see around the congregation in terms of the voice and how peoples are responding to it, then I start to ask those, who are close to my chair, how do they see the balance of the voice of the artist and music? If they have the same feeling, which I felt we even start to quite worship/ing and we start to discuss what is wrong in terms of voice. Sometime we lose our purpose of being there.
This problem is happening because of the studio workers are not knowing that what is going on and how peoples are responding to the singer and to the things going around the stage. I know they are doing their best to control the voice of singer/s by mixing with the voice of music, but they do not balance the voice of the musical instrument than the voice/sound of artist. Why? Personally, what I see is that they assume the loudness of the musical instrument will help the singer to do all his best in the worship time, they try to take care the interest of the artist, who knows their feeling

    Aaron Copland book, What to Listen for in Music, seems helpful to me because it explained music, and where music comes from through the eyes of the composer. His essay creates the foundation for an scientifical musical appreciation, beginning with basics as harmony, melodies , and pattern. It also has implicitly caused me to start asking some questions when I'm listening to a piece of music. Aaron Copland classifies and discusses three levels of listening to music : sensuous place, expressive plane, and the sheerly musical plane.…

    If all you ever listen too is someone talking about killing people, money, drugs and women, then music would contradict Husn Tzu argument. His teachings would be like a dull knife. It only becomes useful when it is sharpened, in the same way people need to be sharpened in order to abandon their evil nature. “A man in cramped quarters longs for spaciousness, and a poor man longs for wealth; whatever a man lacks he will seek [from] outside [of himself]. From this we can see men’s desire to do good precisely because their nature is evil” (Tzu 103).…

    The overall premise of Wheeler and Whaley’s The Great Commission to Worship is that worship and evangelism are not to be isolated from each other. Worship and evangelism go together and they impact how the believer is to live out the commandment of the Great Commission. Wheeler and Whaley make the assertion that evangelism and worship have been misunderstood, misinterpreted, and misapplied, and offer suggestions to fix this problem. The ultimate purpose of the Christian, according to Wheeler and Whaley, is to glorify God in all that he or she does.…

    Music can serve as a communication method between people. In the old times in Mexico it was very common for an admirer, in most cases the man, to go to his love’s house with a mariachi or a small group of musicians and sing love songs until the girl woke up to the man’s singing and received him by opening up her windows to the balcony she was in. Now, you must be thinking why did I bring this up? Well, just like the man dedicated love songs to his love nowadays people can’t explain the love towards their spouses or their parents so they pick a song to express what they feel. Music is communication not only by showing love but also by discussing their life experiences and history.…
