Being a musician myself, I can say that music is not just an art form. Its more than that. It is considered as the most effective way of communication. You couldn't memorize a line or paragraph but you could remember the words of hundreds of songs. Why is that?

Blender has almost the same features as Maya or any other 3D modelling software as far as I know. For those of you who don't know what an open source software is, its a free software where we can create and modify the source code, fix bugs and contribute something of value to that software.
