Happiness Music Brings to the Family
LEARNING PIANO AND ANY OTHER MUSICAL INSTRUMENT HAS MANY BENEFITS TO STUDENTS AND THEIR FAMILY
Practicing piano and other musical instruments everyday leads to:
Strong hand-eye coordination
Improved memory
Improved problem solving
Improved self-esteem and study habits
On top of these benefits, creating music at home creates JOY in family life.
“I remember when I was younger where I would practice my instrument at home. My mother would prepare dinner and she would request pieces and songs she liked. Even though my playing was far from perfect, it gave her great joy in listening to my playing.”
MUSIC AND FAMILY
There is indeed a difference between listening to and playing music. Listening is passive and not as interactive, where as playing music is active and collaborative. But the good news is that you do not need to have special skills to participate in music creation. A simple act of clapping along and/or singing along is also a form of collaboration in music making.
Studies have shown that when we try create music together- such as keeping the beat or singing along- we share positive feelings with those we are synchronizing with.
It is not yet an exact science, but it may be attributed to the release of endorphins, which results from coordinating movement with others. In other words, making music causes our brains to create warm, positive feelings.
Music is scientifically proven to better your Well-being
A lot of people believe that music can lift the spirits. But science has now shown it has a physical effect on our bodies, too. As we listen, music works on the autonomic nervous system, which is responsible for controlling blood pressure and heartbeat, as well as the limbic system, which is responsible for feelings and emotions. A review of 23 studies by Bradt and Dileo (in 2009) involving almost 1,500 people found music helped to reduce blood pressure, heart rate and anxiety in heart disease patients.
Music can benefit psychological well-being, too. Research from the University of Missouri published in The Journal Of Positive Psychology found for the first time, that upbeat music can have a very positive effect on our well-being.
