Human culture expresses itself through different music and different languages. It could be said that music and language are the pillars of being human. The question begs: what do language and music have in common?

In truth, music and language have many similarities. Such as their own system of symbols, modes of expression, and even how our brains process them. One key difference is that:

Music is a universal language.

The beautiful thing about music is that you can communicate across cultural and linguistic boundaries in ways that you can’t with ordinary languages such as English or French.

I should know, I’m a hairy french-Canadian musician.

Symbols and Meanings.

What is language? Simply put, it’s a method in which we communicate and express ourselves. All languages have a set system of symbols with meaning attached to them.

Isn’t it funny how this could directly describe music? Hehe, that tickles my amygdala.

Just like language, music has syntax rules....
