Music is My Super BOYFRIEND!

Gw sangat berterima kasih ama orang yang udah nemuin musik. Hampa banget rasanya hidup gw tanpa musik. Ga abis pikir, ada orang yang bisa hidup tanpa musik bahkan membencinya. Tapi beneran ada loh orang yang benci musik.

Dulu gw les Bahasa Inggris gitu. Jadi kan suka ada sesi listening. Listeningnya terdiri dari beberapa part, terus tiap antar part biasanya ada jeda musiknnya. Eh tiap musik mulai, di fast forward loh ama guru les gw ini. Dia bilang dia ga suka musik, bikin pusing. Lah???

Kalo gw, tiap gw pusing malah biasanya agak mendingan setelah denger musik. Tiap gw lagi seneng, sedih, stress, bosen, yang setia nemenin gw ya musik. Dan gw suka banget nyanyi tereak2 lirik lagu yang lagi gw puter. Dan abis itu biasanya I feel better.

And here are the reasons why you should love music, especially classical music..

• Music is an art form whose medium is sound and silence. Its common elements are pitch (which governs melody and harmony), rhythm (and its associated concepts tempo, meter, and articulation), dynamics, and the sonic qualities of timbre and texture. (Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music)

• Music therapy is an interpersonal process in which the therapist uses music and all of its facets-physical, emotional, mental, social, aesthetic, and spiritual-to help clients to improve or maintain their health. In some instances, the client's needs are addressed directly through music; in others they are addressed through the relationships that develop between the client and therapist. Music therapy is used with individuals of all ages and with a variety of conditions, including: psychiatric disorders, medical problems, physical handicaps, sensory impairments, developmental disabilities, substance abuse, communication disorders, interpersonal problems, and aging. It is also used to: improve learning, build self-esteem, reduce stress, support physical exercise, and facilitate a host of other health-related activities. (Source: http://www.temple.edu/musictherapy/home/program/faq.htm#a)

• The effect of classical music on the brain being composed of two effects that act in synergy. The first is due to rhythm, that synchronizes with the body’s vital rhythms, already mentioned, and produces the proper mood for increased cognitive and creative capabilities. The second effect that acts in synergy with the first is melody, that gets along with thoughts resolutions and gives to the person the warm feeling that he or she is able to tackle new challenges, by setting a path in the invention of new solutions and providing the ability to make the correct choice among possible solutions. Melody and rhythm, together, act in synergy with the brain; it “opens” the auditory and sensorial channels that conduct to the brain, thus benefiting your cerebral skills.  The powerful effects of music are fundamental in life, and its beneficiaries always appear to perform better in life.
