Is music created by God?

Music is a gift of God and part of the created order. 5:13), creation is musical. “All nature sings and round me rings the music of the spheres.” Human music-making participates in the music of creation and reflects the order, beauty, and diversity of God's creation.

The people of God sing. The role of music in worship is biblical. After escaping from the Egyptians and crossing the Red Sea, the people of Israel sang a song to the Lord (Exod. 15). Singing was part of Israel’s formal worship in both tabernacle and temple (1 Chron. 6:31-32, 16:42). The Psalms bear rich testimony that in joy and sorrow, in praise and lament, the faithful raise their voices in song to God. Hymn singing was practiced by Jesus and his disciples (Matt. 26:30). The Apostle Paul instructed the Colossians, “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly; teach and admonish one another in all wisdom; and with gratitude in your hearts sing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs to God. And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him” (Col. 3: 16-17).

Theological Reflections on the Role of Music in Worship

Music and song continue to play a vital role in the life of God’s people today. Contemporary culture and modern technology bring new possibilities and new challenges to the music ministry of the church. People’s lives are surrounded with music—television and radio, the background music of video games, the muzak of shopping malls, CDs, and synthesizers. Yet much of the time music functions as “background” rather than as an opportunity for serious listening, much less participation. Outside the church there are few occasions or opportunities in North American culture for people to sing together. Much of the popular music (including popular Christian music) composed today is for performance rather than for participation. The church also has greater access and has shown greater openness to a greater variety of music—from classical hymnody to Christian rock, from European cantatas to South African choruses. Such diversity is to be welcomed and celebrated; it reflects the diversity and richness of God’s creation. But greater variety and options in music call for greater discernment and care in planning and implementing the music ministry of the church. The people of God sing; what they sing and how they sing are important issues.

How long does it take to learn Für Elise as a beginner?

One or 2 months only is enough even for a young pianist. Fur Elise is so easy! It's great you think Fur Elise is so easy that even a young pianist should play it right away!

pianostreet.com - How long to play fur elise full version at a satisfactory level - Piano Street

Fur Elise is not really for beginners, it is more of an intermediate level piece. My teacher's rule is that after a couple of weeks, I should be able to play a piece I have learnt (not concert level of course, but going through it without any major issues like notes or tempo). There might be exceptions for professionals working on difficult repertoire, but from an amateur point of view, I think it is more motivating this way and that it helps build confidence too. I know some teachers who would teach only one or a couple of difficult pieces in 1 year, but is it really worth it?

I think that if after two months you are still struggling, the piece is probably above your level. The first part is the easiest to play, maybe focus on playing the first part for now and keep the rest for when you are more advanced?

Technically speaking, if you do not want to slow down during the rather fast passages, you need to be comfortable playing a chromatic scale (let's say at a 120 tempo), an a minor arpeggio, and the same goes for the c major scale. I agree with Danielo about the patience and self discipline, although I have doubts about the fact that playing really slowly for two months will improve your speed. I think it will improve your accuracy only. You need to be consistent in your practice for months/years if you want to build a strong technique, and gradually speed up.

Is The Pianist appropriate for kids?

Lots of violence; the Nazis are practically killing everyone they see in this movie, so definitely not for kids under 14 or mature kids under 13.
