The trending genres of music today are Rock, Pop, R&B, Bossa Nova and so many more. But have you ever tried listening to Classical Music? Maybe yes, maybe no. Mostly, people say that it's boring or it's for intelligent people only. But do you know the story behind them? On what it can do to us?
Nowadays, Classical Music was not given much attention like any other genres because of people's taste. But they didn't know the essence of a Classical Music that can do to us. Its popularity is on going unlike any other music. Trending today and gone tomorrow. But Classical Music is not like that .It's spanning for 700 years until now. It's commonly found in music theaters and opera houses. Basically, Classical Music lasts forever.But what does Classical Music can do? Are they sang as the tune of Royals? Or maybe Blurred lines? Certainly, not. Classical Music is a music that affects our brain and it has are well-known composers.
In addition to that, I read an article entitled "The Influence of Music on Neurons" from the site serendip.brynmawr.edu. Anisha Chirmule the author of the article, Stated that music affects the brain by letting the brain sense happiness or sorrow. Depending on what we hear, the tempo or rhythm of the music makes our brain work and think what kind of emotion we should be feeling. Relations to classical music, Classical music is very relaxing since different instruments are being played. It makes our mind cool down. After hearing classical music or any kind of music, we tend to relax and the outputs of our body movement is also relaxed since our mind is thinking like that.
Classical Music is around us. It affects us, not just our brains. But it affects us emotionally. Our brains have the ability to sense the happiness and the sadness of music. When the tone and tempo of the music is changed, different portions of our brain are stimulated which have neural connections that detect the feelings and emotions of the song. Certain areas of our brain become active whenever different types of music are played such as classical, jazz, rock, pop, and so on. Understanding music is a process that involves the breaking down of its components so that the different areas in the brain could process it.
In another article I have read entitled, "Playing classical music to your child can improve their listening skills later on in life" from the site dailymail.co.uk. Sarah Harris said that the children can enhance their listening and social skills. Because when you actually play classical music to them, there is a certain way of connection. Not only you are socializing with them but they actually improve their listening skills. They will also learn to appreciate classical music that will help widen their range of thought towards music. It also stated that musicians are more likely to have sharper minds and less likely to suffer mental decline. Learning instruments thoroughly may enhance a person's ability to easily determine mistakes and find a solution quickly.
Classical Music is a great advantage for children because it helps them to improve their intelligence. Although, they may not see it but it helps them to develop their minds. Through Classical Music, children develops their concentration and self-discipline. It is very important for them to developed this kind of characteristics because it will help them through out their lives. Not only it helps their selves it also gives them knowledge about the composers of Classical Music. Because nowadays, children are not aware of the composers in the Classical Period.
Anisha Chirmule Luciano Pavarotti, the author of the article said that, "If children are not introduced to music at an early age, I believe something fundamental is actually being taken from them" means that, music is already a part of our life. From the day we were born, we have already heard music, but may be in a different way. Hearing musics from the past makes us remember what memories we had.
First, it enhances Spatial IQ. Spatial refers to our visual intelligence. It sees the world correctly in forming mental images of physical objects. It helps the brain to improve it's short and long term memory. Mostly, these are the artistic people like an Architect, Graphic Designer, Engineer or Photographer.
And Second, Classical music reduces pain and anxiety in our brains. Because it slows down pulse and heart rate, it lowers the blood pressure, and decreases the levels of stress hormones. It's helpful to old people who have sickness. It helps them to have a good health and have a stress free life. But also it is not only applicable to old people. It can be to young people too, because I believe they feel pain and they experienced anxiety.
Basically, Classical Music helps us in our everyday living especially it affects our brain. Even if your an adult or a teen. It benefits us in improving ourselves to become an intelligent and a healthy person. We should try to dedicate time in listening to Classical Music instead of other genres that doesn't help us. I am not saying that it is wrong to listen to them. What I mean is it's much better to spend time to things that we can benefit from than things that we can get any. We should know the value of classical music because the composers worked hard for it. That's why we should not waste it. Mostly, the successful persons listens to classical music. Like Einstein, Thomas Jefferson and Conan Doyle. Classical Music helped them to get knowledge in being successful in their lives. They are musicians too. Most of them play instruments as time passes by. They are most likely experiencing performing works faster and have lesser mistake. The advantage of playing an instrument is that it helps our mental abilities to be healthier and avoids the weakening of our brain cells. So, Classical Music plays a big role in our lives. We should be more aware on what can it do to us so that we will know the importance of it and we will value it.
