Five Reasons Why Everyone Should Have Music in Their Lives
Wherever and Whenever You Can Find It
1. Music brings people together
Music creates social unity, it speaks to all when words can fail and wherever you go in the world it is understood. Music is a univeral gift and its power to connect people is without question. It is an art form with human interactions at its centre. Music has the ability to bring people together by the instruments they play, a shared interest in a particular style of music and who doesn't love the spine-tingling sounds of an orchestral crescendo? We all have been known to move our feet irresistibly to the rhythm of a drum beat or leave our seats and dance to the rhythm.
2. Music improves your health and well-being
Music stimulates the brain which in turn helps with pain relief and reduces stress. It can also improve mood and reduce anxiety and through bringing people together, can be an antidote to loneliness and social isolation due to Covid.
3. Music can improve confidence and resilence
In a digital age where many services and products are instantly available with the click of a button, learning a musical instrument provides a platform for people to achieve through discipling and perseverance.
4. Music is a creative outlet.
It provides an opportunity for people from all social and cultural backgrounds to express themselves. Whether it's to convey a message, a particular emotion or just for the sheer joy, musicians have used sound and music since the dawn of primitive man as a way of expressing themselves and getting their voices heard.
5. Music is fun
The joy you can get from music will help lift your spirits and those of everybody else involved. Whether its learning your favorite tune, performing on stage or a good old sing-a-long with your friends, music brings fun!
Music matters .. now, more than ever!
