ABSTRACT
Music can be pleasurable, it can keep people off the streets, it can generate employment, it can enhance social events. Music can enhance the profile of a school, college or other organisation. The aesthetic tends to be described in a multiplicity of ways and is very often an unsatisfactory confusion of several different concepts, including the aesthetic, the artistic and the affective. Hearing sounds as music requires that people desist from giving attention to separate sounds and experience instead an illusion of movement, a sense of weight, space, time and flow. Metaphor carries something people know and which have already assimilated into a new context, requiring us to accommodate to its relocation. The metaphorical process lies at the heart of creative action, enabling us to break new ground, making it possible for us to reconstitute ideas, to see things differently. David Elliott characterised that music is a collection of objects or works.
