How Does Music Affect the Brain
Listening to a song at safe volume levels can be one of the healthiest things you do all day!
YOUR FAVORITE MUSIC LEAVES YOU HAPPIER, MORE CREATIVE, AND A HEALTHIER PERSON...
You may be wondering how much a song can affect your quality of life
So, let’s compare the effects music has on the brain, whether you’re playing or listening.
Your brain has two hemispheres:
the left and the right The left hemisphere controls the right side of the body, logical thinking, math, and science concepts. The right hemisphere of your brain handles the left side of your body. It controls our creative and emotional endeavors.
EVEN IMAGINING A SONG IN YOUR MIND IGNITES THE CREATIVE SIDE OF YOUR BRAIN Improving the way our brains’ hemispheres communicate can help with retaining information. This makes it important when learning a new skill, like playing an instrument!
For Listeners… Is there a song that brings a wave of memories back the second you hear it? Certain songs have a way of transporting us to a different time and place THEY REMIND US OF BEING HAPPY OR YOUNG OR IN LOVE.
The study shows that music mitigates the aging process & protects the brain from regressing.
For Musicians… While listening to music can improve memory, physically playing music has even greater effects on our memory.
It shows correlation between the number of years played and increased cognitive abilities, the more years playing an instrument, the better a person’s memory works.
When listening to music, our brains light up like a Christmas tree
MUSIC EXERCISES YOUR AUDITORY, COGNITIVE, EMOTIONAL, AND MOTOR PROCESSING SKILLS.
For Listeners… Our mood can affect our choice of music, but our choice in music can also affect our mood If you’re exercising you may choose empowering music that uplifts your mood.
Working out with upbeat & energetic music will increase your intensity.
For Musicians… For musicians, the effects of music on mental health are more pronounced Musicians can express deep emotions like trauma or grief when they play Each piano key or guitar strum helps them process their emotions in a healthy way....
MUSIC IS ALSO A GREAT WAY TO CALM ANXIETY!
