WHY IS MUSIC IMPORTANT IN OUR LIVES?
A song a day keeps the doctor away
Music therapy may one day be used as standard treatment for all kinds of illnesses. It may even replace traditionalmedicine. This is because recent studies have shown that music can speed up a person's recovery after a serious illness.
In 1996, a study which was carried out at Colorado State University in the USAproved that stroke victims who listened to music on a regular basis showed improvement in their ability to walk. This was in direct opposition to stroke victims who had not been exposed to music at all.According to this and other similar studies, music evidently stimulates the brain's motor system. In addition, it improves the spirits of stroke victims, causing them to be more sociable and lessdepressed.
Music has the same sort of effect on brain-damaged children. Stevie is a three-year-old boy who was born with cerebral palsy (CP). It is difficult for him to walk or to move his body in anyway. Moreover, he thinks slowly and can hardly speak. However, all of Stevie's entire body seems to come alive. He begins to laugh excitedly as he bangs on the drums and taps on the piano keys.Stevie's therapist claims, "By following the rhythm, Stevie is learning to balance his body and coordinate his movements."
Although music therapists believe every patient needs music in order torecover, the medical world hasn't yet fully accepted this belief. Nevertheless, given its rate of success, it probably won't be long before music therapy is just as routine as any other kind of medicaltreatment.
