Im by no means a musician or artist. Its toward the bottom of my natural abilities. Its incredible to me though and like magic. Which is how come I think I like fantasy stories / mythology with magic as music as it seems like such a natural way for magic to work.

Music as magic is a wonderful motif! I saw an image post circulate that suggested using photos of orchestra conductors as visual reference for drawing spellcasters. The image spoke for itself: the degree of focused intensity and direction in their posture fits the concept perfectly.
I never really felt like the “creative” type; that was always my dad and my brother. I’ve always been more interested in the “analytical” minded subject: mathematics, natural sciences, computer programming and logic.
Ironically, my journey in music really began after I chose to cut contact with my dad, arguably the biggest musical influence in my life beginning from early childhood. I take this as spiritual validation that I made the correct choice leaving behind his narcissistic bullying and abuse.

funny thing is I like being in choruses but I consider the conductor to be the real muscician and im more the instrument. I prefer ones that use solfage as my music reading is pants (I know long and short and go up and down) and there needs to be someone in my section who is good as I can't match pitch to the piano but I can to another voice.
