Benefit
of Listening Music
Good
morning…
My
name is dwi. Today I will talk to you about “Benefit of listening music”. Who
doesn’t love music? Certainly there are some of us, but for the most part music
is a big part of our lives. Whether it’s the music that we listen to on the way
to work, while we workout, or the music we hear in a symphony or film, it can
bring up our moods, tell us a story or even bring us down. Music has touched
cultures all over the world since very early times in human history.
Music
is capable of a number of health benefits including lowering stress levels,
raising states of consciousness, changing moods, accessing different states of
mind, developing the brain and is useful in meditation -which has a ton of
health benefits. The fact is, there isn’t a single human culture on earth that
has lived without music! Including Indonesia. For example, native Africans and
Americans both used music in the form of chanting for their rituals and healing
ceremonies. In Ancient Greece music was used to ease stress, soothe pain and
help with sleeping patterns. Many have said music heals the soul, and it
appears that they were right!
There
are 10 benefit of listening music :
1.
BRINGS BACK MEMORIES:
Regardless of your age, you are sure to be able
to remember a song from your childhood. In fact, many people identify with one
or more pieces of music from our childhood. More often than not, when we hear
certain songs, it brings up specific memories. Music has the ability to bring
up forgotten memories, giving you the chance to travel down memory lane.
2.
CONCENTRATION DEVELOPMENT:
When you are listening to music, you are forced
to concentrate on what you are hearing particularly if you are training to play
a musical instrument. Over time, this focus will extent to your everyday life.
You will notice that you are concentrating more intently at your job,
schoolwork, or simply in a conversation.
3.
SOOTHING ABILITY:
While plenty of music has lyrics and acts to pep
you up, it also can be soothing. This is particularly true for infants after a
long day. Moms may notice that singing a soft lullaby helps their little one to
fall asleep. In addition, plenty of adults find that listening to jazz or
classical music helps calm them down as well.
4.
ENERGIZING ABILITY:
There is no denying that music also acts to give
you energy. In fact, many gyms opt to play upbeat music or suggest that you
listen to an MP3 player. To keep your natural energy going, you should listen
to upbeat music or music with a lively tune.
5.
EXPLORING NEW THINGS:
Frequently, we only listen to music that those
around us, such as our friends and parents, introduce us to. Listening to
different types of music broadens your horizons and exposes you to music that you
may never have thought you would be interested in.
6.
INTELLECTUAL OPPORTUNITIES:
In many instances, songs represent a story or
message to interpret. This acts to challenge us intellectually. It can cause
you to study that song, as well as the reason it was written. You may even find
that you can use the song as inspiration in your daily life.
7.
MOTIVATION:
How many times have you heard a song and found
that it reminded you of a situation you are currently going through? At times,
listening to that song can give you the motivation needed to get through or
overcome the situation. Music has the ability to reach us on a more profound
level than simple words. By touching us deeply, it may provide the boost we
need to meet a challenge head on.
8.
INCREASE CREATIVITY:
Simply put, music is a work of art that tends to
unleash creativity in us that we did not know was there. People listening to
music find they are more creative in regards to the task they are doing, such
as painting, writing, or cleaning the house.
9.
MOOD CHANGES:
If you are feeling extremely down or up, music
can act to change your mood. More than one artist has written a song while they
are feeling down to help lift their moods, as well as those that are feeling
down for the same reasons. The same goes for songs that have the ability to
make a happy person feel sad just by listening to the notes and words of a
song.
10.
INCREASED PRODUCTIVITY:
Silence simply does not promote productivity,
regardless of what you are doing. When you hear music in the background,
cleaning, cooking, and writing seem to go by much faster. The next time you are
dreading cleaning the house, turn on some high-energy music. Try jazz for
cooking. Finally, choose some music that fits the topic you are writing a paper
on and see how much your productivity increases.
