In New Yorker Beth Israel Medical Center, a few years ago, was caring for three-year-old toddler. He was born with abnormalities of the large head (hydrocephalus). Because of the pressure, his brain is damaged. Some time ago, when suddenly she must get help breathing. Surprisingly, when a foreign object in the windpipe, the child can protest with your feet and hands. The doctor soon reassured by drugs. The doctors tried to give alternative treatment.
Dr. Joanne Loewy merundukan his head into his little patient. Then he surrounds the patient bed while sounding musical instrument with a variety of tones. When I heard the music, the child seems a little quiet. His muscles were stiff and no longer looks graph of heart rate monitors decreased. After stroking kepalanyae, Joanne left the room, your baby looks irregular breathing and his face was calm.
Besides taking care of Nathalie, the patient's name, Joanne led three research at Beth Israel Medical Center to find out how music can lighten the suffering of children of AIDS, leukemia, asthma, and severe brain disorders. Joanne saw a lot of music could alleviate their situation. According to recent research - such as Nathalie - influential music directly to the brain and lead to a body of work processes.
Other scientific evidence from Dr. Ralph Spintge, in Frankfurt. Music as a therapeutic tool to heal can be seen in the Imme Kramer. Residents Frankfurt suffered a very painful hereditary disease and until now there is no cure. Network weakened binding to interfere in other organs, including the heart. Three times he suffered a mild heart attack.Dr. Ralph Spintge considers 48-year-old woman was necessary dirilekskan. At first it takes exposure to music from the headphones for 15 minutes to free him from the state of stress, based on the observation of muscle activity. After three weeks of being treated with music therapy, just five minutes listening to music, he was able to calm down.
Many music scholars and educators have conducted research to see the positive effects of some types of music. Many facts are revealed from the study. Among other things, the existence of an interesting relationship between music and human intelligence. Classical music, for example the works of Mozart, has the effect of stimulation is good for the baby. But from the other studies revealed that actually not only Mozart's music that can be used. All quiet and rhythmic music softly give a good effect for fetuses, infants, and children.
These days even began to bloom developed for therapeutic use of music. In various studies, the evidence demonstrated the use of music to address various problems, from anxiety to cancer, high blood pressure, chronic pain, dyslexia, even mental illness.
There are interesting from the research of Prof.. Gordon Shaw of the University of California, Los Angeles. He divided a group of children into 3 groups: Learning Music, Computer Learning, and Learning Skills. Apparently the first group showed a dramatic development, ie 35% more intelligent than the second and third.
Meanwhile, a suitable age for children to practice music, the age of 3 or 4 to 6 years.Age is the most appropriate time to start learning music, because this period is the best period in the development of hearing.
In addition, at the age of 8-9 years, left and right brain will connect and will experience a thickening of the left and right brain connecting. For that if music education is given before the child was 8 years old, then it can increase intelligence. This is evidenced in many developed countries, so that the music used as a mandatory curriculum.
Physiologically, the music really relates to the sense of hearing, but psychologically music associated with various human mental functions such as perception, abstraction, mood and various other psychological functions. Seashore (1967) suggests that musical activities involving many psychological aspects. High-low difference tone, for example, affect the perception of auditory stimuli that refers to a different interpretation of the meaning. High tone tends to be perceived as something that contain the emotions that are stronger than a low tone. Another example, a fast tempo is more evocative spirit than with a slow tempo. Various studies indicate that certain music can produce mood that support human productivity.
History shows banayaknya thinking about the influence of music on people. Good Takwin tells many philosophers, artists, theologians and scientists are struggling to assess the role of music in human life. We find the role of music in shaping the body's rhythms and attitude in the literature of ancient Greece when Plato suggests gave music lessons to children. In his work The Republic, Plato suggested that country music broadcast simultaneously with motion exercises to children. Good Takwin tried to interpret the intent of Plato regarding his advice to learn music and movement to children. Regular music and movement, says Good, can form the rhythm of the body and give harmony to mankind in daily living. The rhythm is regular and rhythmic body movements that produce the relaxed conditions at all times.
Following Plato, many thinkers who put music as important to humans. In the 6th century AD, Boethius in his De Musica Institutione wrote, "Music is a part of us, and Either ennobles or degrades our behavior." Music as part of human life that can have good and bad effects, increase of honor and glory of human and on the other hand can also reduce human dignity. The influence of this music depends on the type of music and the context of the existing people listen to music. Regardless of the good and bad influence, Boethius clear view of music as something that affects human life.
Music is also often considered to prevent people from doing evil. Cervantes in the Do Quxote asserted "Nowhere cans there's music there be no evil". Here the music clearly seen good effect, bringing people to the good. Even music often considered to have supernatural powers that is not comprehensible and logical mind can not be explained by human beings. Thomas Carlyle in On Heroes, Hero-Worship and The Heroic In History even loudly calling for a challenge, "Who is there that, in logical words, can express the effect music has on us? A kind of inarticulate unfathomable speech, the which leads us to the edge of the infinite, you lets us for moments Gaze Into That ".Music is the speech that was indescribable, very deep and strong impression that can bring men to the edge of the 'infinite', on the sacred.
Music and human feelings, two things that are considered closely related, both in the context of religious and nonreligious. Burton even looked at the music has a healing power for emotional disturbance. He said when the music evoke feelings, even though such an uncomfortable feeling of fear, sadness, reash, and wasted, music is a healer directly from the discomfort.
How can music actually affect human life? That's because music has 3 important parts of Beat, Rhythm, and Harmony, said Ev. Andrew Christanday. "Beat affects the body, affecting the rhythm of the soul, while affecting the spirit of harmony." The most obvious example that beat really affect the body is in a rock concert. Certainly there are no spectators or players in a rock concert that his body not moving. Everything rocked with a vengeance, and even tends to be uncontrollable. We still remember with a "head banger", a twirling motion head to the rhythm of loud rock music. And it followed her body as if without feeling tired.
If our hearts are hard, try to listen to beautiful music, which has a rhythm (rhythm) is regular. The feeling we will be more comfortable and easy. Even outside the country, the hospitals make itself more beautiful songs to help cure his patients. That is a proof, that greatly affect the rhythm of the human soul. While greatly affect the spirit of harmony. If we watch a horror movie, always sounding harmony (melody), heart-wrenching, chilling which we stand. In religious rituals are also widely used harmonies that carry the human spirit into the worship of nature. In meditation, people hear the harmony of the sounds of nature all around. "Music is good for human life is a musical balance between the beat, rhythm, and harmony", says Ev. Andrew Christanday.
In addition to the above, there are receptors in the human brain, the signal receiver can identify the music. Baby's brain was already able to receive the music, though with limited ability due to brain growth has not been perfect. Music is one of stimulation to accelerate and enrich your baby's brain development. If the child is accustomed to hear wonderful music, lots of benefits that will be felt by the child. Not only enhance cognition in an optimal children, also develop emotional intelligence. In addition to cognitive and emotional benefits, there are many more uses of music for children. For example, improved motor development, improve language skills, mathematics, as well as social skills, and build self-confidence.
Furthermore, music is seen as an effective soul-forming medium. Music also has the power to refresh and reinforce memory of the nearly vanished. Some psychological effects of music have been mentioned above. It is said the music associated with the feelings, the formation of operating and soul. More concretely again, found that music can facilitate language acquisition, reading readiness and development of general intelligence. In the aspect of personality, it was found that music can mencitakan positive attitude toward a particular object, increased creativity, social support and adjustment perkemabangan and self-esteem. In addition to psychological effects, disebutlan also religious or spiritual influence of music. The most obvious Carlyle opinion confirms that music can evoke about the sanctity of human consciousness and infinite power.
