hey practitioners were back with a
collaboration with observe entertainment
here we go
when was the last time you turn on the
radio and smiled as you heard your
favorite song over the speakers in fact
when was the last time that you felt any
emotion that seem to be inspired by
music the average person listens 24
hours of music day this is split between
radio streaming services like Spotify or
Pandora and personally own music like
CDs vinyls download podcasts and other
things
studies show that roughly 276 million
Americans alone lessen the broadcasting
radio every day another study in the UK
funded by learning audio company
discovered that the average person will
spend roughly 13 years of their life
simply listening to music music has a
very powerful effect on the human mind
and you can even use it to your
advantage however it is very important
to keep in mind that there are two
different sides of the coin of music one
side is simply listening to music and
then the other side is actually making
music though not as larger the number of
music listeners the number of people
that play an instrument in the u.s. is
still enormous 18 million if you're not
one of the 18 million Americans they can
play an instrument don't worry was
playing and listening have large
benefits for increasing cognitive
function let's look at what listening to
music goes to the brain functionality
first listening to music can influence
your mood and so I certain songs make
you feel happy or sad that might be a
video for another time however the
person listen to happy music and wants
to feel happy they will find themselves
feeling happier in the same way if they
look into emotional or sad music and
they want to feel sad they will find
themselves feeling more sad the key to
remember here is that the person
listening to the music must honestly
desire to fuel certain way in order for
the music to affect them a person who is
passively listening to a happy song and
doesn't desire to feel happy as far less
likely to feel emotional change the
person who desires to be happy
part of the reason for this ties into
the well-known phrase mind-over-matter
this phrase is usually discredited as an
artistic way to try harder
however there is more than the thing
than one might expect for instance
scientists at Harvard performed a study
on Tibetan monks as they meditated in
the experiment wet sheets were placed
around amongst their place in a really
cool room 40 degrees Fahrenheit instead
of shivering uncontrollably the monks
began to exert an abnormal amount of
body heat due to their meditation it
became so extreme that one of the
researchers even notice steam rising
from their wet sheets there are many
more examples of how your brain controls
your body
back body language is one of the only
things that you can fake it until you
make it
however the king is to remember that if
you truly want to be happy while
listening to your music you're likely to
succeed further on that note when
listening to music that you truly enjoy
your body will release dopamine which is
a feel-good neurochemical this will
chemically assist you in feeling happier
also listening to music can also assist
your neurological productivity in a
fashion a study was performed that
established that a person listening to
Mozart working was more productive in a
person working in silence
the effect was named the Mozart Effect
however it is not necessary that the
music being listened to have to be
Mozart or even classical music in
general rather than it just being music
that the listener enjoys this means that
if a person greatly enjoys listening to
johnny cash you can help them in the
productivity if they listen to this
music while working
however it is absolutely key that the
person is engaged in the music to reap
the benefits in other words they must
feel the music to be affected by simply
having it on in the background will have
little to no effect
Johnny Cash be easier skillet whatever
you enjoy work however this brings up a
new study that suggested that the music
itself might not have an effect on a
productive functionality of the brain
but rather that had an effect on the
emotional functions of the brain
this in turn has a positive effect on
productivity regardless of the means the
end was still the same listening to
music and help a person be more
productive at their work listening to
music can also bring back memories both
good and bad this closely ties into the
first method of how music affects the
brain as we go through life we attribute
certain songs to certain events in our
life for instance many people put
together a breakup playlist during a
difficult relationships with at the time
the songs maybe meant to help them
process the emotions of the breakup but
in the future those songs will remind
them of the emotions and memories they
felt during that time for the reason
that these emotions can be attributed so
strongly to a piece of music is due to
how auditory cortex stores sound for
instance the brain stores visual
information a certain fashion due to the
fact that a person can look over at
something multiple times repetitively in
a very short period of time
however when hearing a sound you can
only hear that sound once until your
plate again in a later time
think of the difference between
listening to the radio and reading a
magazine the radio can only be heard
once that a particular given time
whereas a magazine can be read
repeatedly do this the brain has
developed the ability to hold onto a
coke memory slightly longer or more
stronger
an iconic memory with that is the
foundation of attaching auditory signals
to memories it becomes less curious why
emotional memories are so easily tied to
the sound of music listening to music
can give you energy to work or work out
longer
studies have shown their person who
listens to specifically selected songs
will perform much better at the task at
hand there are a couple reasons for this
first is that the beat of the music of
the pace for our bodies to match while
working or working out the faster the
beat the faster the pace that we have
consciously set for ourselves the next
reason takes us a bit deeper music
injuries our ears the vibrations are
sent to our brain via electrical signals
which are brains in translates into the
sound of music as our brain works some
time with the music translating signals
that receives them it's a pattern for
the rest of your body
this includes heart rate blood pressure
metabolic rate and even things like
physical mental stress and fatigue there
are more ways than listening to music
can affect the brain however now we are
going to look at how playing music
affects the brain now it is common
knowledge actually playing a musical
instrument is beneficial to the brain as
it grows and develops however new
studies have shown that it's not enough
that a person simply take some music
lessons and learned how to play an
instrument rather they must be engaged
and interested in learning before the
brain begins to show the effects
this means that the kid who sits at his
or her desk and doodles all throughout
band is not going to read the same
benefits of the kid who is actively
involved in the class
therefore person wishes the reason
benefits with playing an instrument you
cannot just be any instrument must be
what they are passionate about whether
it's a young boy who wishes to learn how
to play the harmonica for a teenage girl
who deeply desire to learn the violin as
long as they're passionate about
learning and enjoy the instrument it
will benefit them enormously in that
regard it also doesn't matter which
instrument is played a person who
decides that they wish to play the drums
they have the same or better benefits as
a person who wishes to learn the piano
the key factor to learning an instrument
is that the musician must appreciate the
instrument of their learning what are
these benefits
well there's a number of ways of
learning an instrument can aid the brain
and it's functions number-one improves
verbal memory and childhood literacy
researchers at the auditory neuroscience
laboratory and northwestern university
discovered that the brain of a child who
received a music question with capable
of more refined reading skills number
two early musical training can increase
the brains elasticity number three
improved fine motor skills learning an
instrument has the capability of
improving your motor skills nearly every
instrument requires the use of one
specific muscle group or another
the majority of the time the learning of
the answer will not only train those
muscle groups but it will also assist
the brain and learning how to control
finer moments for the muscles of the
body member for it improves the
executive function a study from the
Boston Children's Hospital discovered a
possible link between the learning of an
instrument in the brains executive
functionality executive functions are
the mental processes that allows the
plan focused on attention
remember instructions multitask quickly
process information solve problems
regulate our behaviors and adjust to
changing mental demands number five and
improves white matter of connectivity
this is also something that is connected
to meditation in 2013 researchers
conducted a study on how early music
lessons affect the brain
the study showed that there were
significant effects on the brain if the
lessons were taken within the six to
eight year range the brains of these
children had stronger connections
between motor regions what it means the
cabinet sort of effect on the brain
well the answer that question was
actually unknown until the 1990s when
the fMRI was created upon the invention
of this machine scientists discovered
music engaged and stimulated a vast
amount of the brain in concordance with
each other in a way that no other are
practiced it from the movement of the
body which activates the motor cortex
and cerebellum to the anticipation of
flow and the tune of the song which
activates the prefrontal cortex music
woke up to bring unlike anything else no
demand so it's important not to
discredit music as an enjoyable pastime
or Pleasant background noise it's a
brilliant medium that can be used to
help your everyday life if you're
struggling to study for an exam
listening to music that you enjoy can
help wake your brain up if you're
feeling sad on a certain day and want to
feel better
listening to some happy songs can lift
your spirits if you wish to improve your
brain's ability to function in general
picking up and learning an instrument
will give your brain a noticeable boost
finally if you have a workout goal in
mind but feel like you simply can't push
through to success on the town with a
good beat and allow your body to match
the pace and carry you through to the
finish these days
music is never far from reach with smart
phones and the Internet good tunes are
accessible nearly everywhere at any time
it'll be afraid to listen to it it can
help you in all areas of your life
