The Joy of Music in all Genres

The Sound of Musical Instruments are awesome to listen to. Listening to music and enjoying watching a performance of your favorite musicians on stage at a concert is amazingly special.

To spend that time with the person you are in a special relationship with, makes the memory a romantic one to hold on to.

I like music in a variety of genres; inspiration, romance, classic, Latin and more. Listening to favorite music and reading a good book, is one of my ways of relaxing. I also, enjoy making music, singing and writing.

Voices from the World of Music



Those who are in the music industry invest a great deal of their time in their career. Music is their business. To be great performers, artists have to be totally dedicated to their music profession. Composers, Singers, Songwriters, and Performers contribute their talents to the entertainment industry, be it in Churches where I grew up performing or elsewhere, local and abroad.

 Music is a language that connects artists. It allows them to perform together and put on great performances, when they have not practiced together, because separated they work on their artistic skills on a persistent basic, such as my guitarist and I did. We never practiced together, but apart we worked very hard on our skills.  When show time came, my voice connected with his music, and we became one in the world of music, and gave our audiences some great performances. I am a big fan of guitar music!

These are some of the great ones who have contributed to our educational studies of music. And provided us with entertainment in the Music Industry: Both Composers and Performing Artists have entertained us with their musical skills.

My World of Music


Ellen J. Barrier
Singer/Songwriter

At about the age of 3, I used any object I could find to make music. My parents bought my first piano at the age of 14 and provided me with music lessons. I grew up singing and performing in churches and in school activities.

My performances include singing, acting in plays and dancing.
I enjoy singing, writing songs and listening to various genres of music such as inspiration, romance, classic, jazz, pop, rap, rock and other. 






My influence for my music career are family members who like listening to radio and singing in church and family performances during family gathering. I started writing poems, and songs along with performing in musicals in churches and school during my preteen years. I have continued to perform throughout the years as an adult, live and recorded.  

Two of my favorite musicians are Sam Cooke and Stevie Wonder.  I grew up listening to their music and have many of their Cd’s in my possession.  Sam Cooke had an amazing voice that was pleasant to listen to, and sang spiritual and other genres.  Stevie Wonder is an inspiring artist with many talents. Both of these artists are impressive and inspiring.
