Music cannot simply be there for amusement but also can be used to heal. According to “Is Music a Good Tool for Health”, Elizabeth Scott, stated that music affects the body and the mind. In fact, researchers recently found that music can be used in a strongly way to help patients with pain management, to help them and to ease up their muscle tensions. Therefore, it doesn’t only help them to relax meaning music therapy can create a way to prevent damages that can cause chronic stress, and bring a more positive state of mind in which I strongly agree with.
Moreover, from a TV show that I have watched in the summer called “Switched at Birth”. Two girls that were switched together then later on reunited, but one of them who was living a bit different from the other, the environment she actually caught some problems. That caused her to lose her sense of hearing even though she could read lips. Referring to a part of the episodes, that showed us she was actually upset with her mother and suddenly ran to her room then took her IPod started listening to music and kept on moving her body with the beat of the song and all. But then I questioned myself, what in the world was she listening to? And then, the other girl asked her what she was listening to because she was deaf. That was when she replied and said “she couldn’t hear the lyrics, but she could hear the beats”. Then I realized a person doesn’t have to own all five senses to hear and enjoy music and from listening to the beats, she was eventually calmed and ready to speak.
Another example is from my own typical experience, because I remember this time, I was actually thinking of my mother who is living in Haiti apart from me. My father who doesn’t like the idea of me talking to her on the phone the way I do, because I could speak to her for hours and never get tired. Therefore, I think of her very often and cry most of the time because I miss her deeply. My father would come at me and started yelling, and speak in a way a father shouldn’t have. He would curse over and over till I scream and burst into tears. And my only refugee of not being able to respond was my music, I would listen to music for hours till I fall asleep. The music would help me hide into my shell and think of nothing and write poems about what I felt, it would calm my anger of cursing at him back. From listening to slow songs then I would feel better and love my mother twice as much.
In addition, music is there not only for personal consequences, but it is there and used to cure mental problems and emotional regards and basically a benefit to your health and more.
