It\u2019s a question which makes us dig deeper into who we are. Why is music important to human beings<\/em>? Maybe it\u2019s just like breathing.<\/p>\n Although music is an art form<\/strong>, it\u2019s so much more than that. It reaches places where no ordinary mode of speech can travel, and it brings out things that we never knew existed within ourselves. It is almost as if it hypnotizes<\/strong> and pulls hidden tokens from our past as well.<\/p>\n So why is music important? Maybe it’s because it is timeless, necessary, and beautiful<\/strong>, all rolled into one.<\/p>\n Often, in my younger years, I wrote poetry. I scribbled verse after verse, looking to crack open something within<\/strong> and set it free<\/strong>. I had other motives as well, to make beauty and expression alongside my piano lessons.<\/p>\n But why talk about poetry when music is our focus? It is because the music was the life<\/strong> of my poetry, it guided me, inspired me<\/a> and filled each line with its own blood.<\/p>\n On one particular night, as I enjoyed hours of music, I felt a loud pleading for inspiration<\/strong>. I had previously been inspired by poems from a 19th-century anthology, and with the music ringing in my inner-most being<\/strong>, I composed a poem.<\/p>\n Since I was then a member of a writing site and forum, I posted my poem for all my friends to see. Later that night, I was harshly criticized by a troll, named Drew.<\/p>\n Drew asked me where I stole the poem, and I said it was original. He then asked me if it was original, then where did I get my ideas. To him, based on my previous work, this poem was just too sophisticated for me.<\/p>\n I told him that music had laced each line of the poem<\/strong> and that writing this piece had been a dance<\/strong>. Of course, he didn\u2019t believe me, or at least he said he didn’t.<\/p>\n Music is ancient<\/strong>, most of us know this. It played the largest part in the raw beginnings of the human language<\/strong>. Before the articulation of words, there were sounds which closely mimicked song.<\/p>\n Even now, as we talk to our newborn babies, we use “sing-song” voices and cute sounds instead of structured sentences. But to explain everything that music has done and created would take writing a book. So, let’s just examine its power to enhance the mind and body<\/strong>, shall we?<\/p>\n The mind of a child can be\u00a0transformed by music<\/strong>. I am sure most people heard about the effects it has on the unborn fetus. You\u2019ve probably seen many images of headphones on pregnant bellies. Well, if not, just trust me on this one.<\/p>\n Even small children automatically dance and seem to understand music<\/strong> well before taught to do so. Why? Because, as I have mentioned before, music is ancient and it’s the basic building block<\/strong> of communication. Why shouldn\u2019t we recognize it?<\/p>\n Why is music important in groups?<\/strong>\u00a0So, you might not think about the effects of singing together as being all that circumstantial to the brainpower of music, but it is. Apparently, synchronized voices have a way of uniting otherwise anti-social groups.<\/p>\n Voices combining is actually like pulling people together and teaching them to harmonize, not only at the moment but also afterward.<\/p>\n Palvi Sisko Eerola said,<\/p>\n \u201cSinging together increases affiliation within the group and may even make people like each other more than before.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Studies have shown that playing musical instruments can not only result in a high IQ <\/strong>but can also improve verbal and visual skills<\/strong>. Visual perception and cognitive abilities in children can improve greatly due to extracurricular music classes.<\/p>\n So, I have anxiety, and some days are like hell on earth, truth be told. But, when I listen to certain genres, I find my anxiety symptoms fade<\/a>, and they are replaced with a calmer exterior. This is aside from the positive mental influence<\/strong> that music has on my condition.<\/p>\n But there are other physical improvements<\/strong> caused by music! Check it out.<\/p>\n So, in keeping with what I said about anxiety, look at it from the perspective of heart disease. Music has the ability to decrease the heart rate<\/strong> \u2013 well, unless you are dancing like a maniac, that is. Of course, some fast-paced music does increase heart rate as well.<\/p>\n In Twenty-three separate studies, results show that blood pressure and anxiety both were reduced in heart patients when listening to an increased quantity of certain genres.<\/p>\nMusic builds a poem<\/h2>\n
Music affects us physically and mentally<\/h2>\n
Stimulation from birth<\/h3>\n
Synchronizing has positive outcomes<\/h3>\n
Musicians have higher IQs, respectively.<\/h3>\n
Music doesn\u2019t just affect the mind either, it can also greatly influence our physical health as well!<\/h2>\n
Our hearts love music<\/h3>\n
Woah! Wait! Could music also cure traumatic brain injuries?<\/h3>\n
