The Power of
Music
Nowadays it is almost impossible to
escape from music, even if we want to. It thunders out of every shop, hisses
horribly through other people’s stereos on public transport, lulls you in
restaurants, and blasts out of car windows.
But although we all can have music
everywhere we go, very few of us have any real idea of the effect music has on
human system. For many years it has been thought that musical tastes are
subjective – that one person will like jazz while another prefers classical
music.
Some music will help us feel relaxed
and peaceful, whereas other types may be stimulating to the brain, encouraging
creativity and curiosity. Some music promotes loving feelings while other
sounds call for violence.
As a result music is being used in
hospitals and doctors have found that 20 minutes of soothing music is often far
more effective than tranquilizers or sleeping pills.
Psychologists believe that all music
can be divided into three types, and each of them has different effect on the
body and mind. The first is low-energy music, the sort
that makes you feel bad. Most rock music falls into this category. In fact it
has been discovered that rock music makes people feel hate instead of love.
The next category is high-energy
music. This makes you feel better and it can help to normalize the heart rate.
J.S.Bach’s music has exceptionally high energy.
The third category is prayerful
music. This is the most healing of all. Much of the classical music written
before 1600 falls into this category.
Scientific work on the healing power
of music started with plant research in 1970s. Many types of classical music
speeded plant growth.
Music can also help us in our daily
life. For example, you can prepare yourself for important occasions such as an
exam or a job interview by humming an appropriate tune. It can also act as a
pain reliever when you go to the dentist, or it can simply give expression to
your mood. Listening to music gives your brain a break and helps you get
through the day.
