THE EFFECTS OF MUSIC

                Music is a part of our lives whether we realize it or not, whether we actively participate in it or not, whether we appreciate its power or not. We encounter music everywhere, at colleges,  in supermarkets, on TV shows and even on the streets. We cannot ignore its power and influence on human beings. When we see a musician on the street, we wait for a while and listen to him/her. Music has a remarkable effect on us and that cannot be denied.

                First of all, music has spiritual power for us because it can reach our soul at an emotional level. People use it in order to express some feelings and verbalize them. It also enables us to express our deepest feelings whether good or bad. Moreover, music gives people the freedom to be who they are or who they want to be. Music might giveus an identity because it gives a chance to create an individual style. As Picasso’s individual painting style is cubism, Mozart has an individual music style too. Therefore, music is the key to subjective expression of emotion.

                Secondly, music connects people everywhere no matter the race and color,and even connects the world. Music is the language of the universe. People possessing diverse cultures enjoy the same music because even if the colors are not identical, the emotions are similar. What is more, music brings people around an idea or feeling. For instance, when there is a concert, a singer whose race could be different from the participants coming there, people don’t care about his/her race, they focus on his success and performance. Briefly, music doesn’t consider other factors apart from the emotions it brings to people.

                Finally, music also contributes to some areas such as education. Methodology is also important in education and music is one tool that can be used. Music provides an increase in learning with the use of songs. For instance, a song which we learnt at 7 may not be forgotten for a long time. When teachers use the means of teaching such as musical plays, students will remember the music. Moreover, music enablespeople to be creative. Because music stimulates some neurons in the brain, people listening to music have more creativity. In brief, music contributes to people’s achievement in many areas.

                All in all, music affects our lives to a great extent. It particularly makes us feel better and enables us to express ourselves in the language of the universe. Even if people have different kinds of features, music brings everyonetogether.
