Music connects people
Music is a powerful force in the world. It's a vehicle for expressing joy, sorrow, and everything in between. Music can connect people from around the globe and across generations, and it brings people together as they share their love of music everywhere.
Music also helps us celebrate our lives together as communities, but how can the music do that and why as human being we are so fascinated about music? What brings us to love it so much?
People were created for music
Music is an innate part of our genetic makeup. We have a natural inclination toward making music, and so music plays an important role in all aspects of human experience: social, spiritual, physical and psychological well-being.
In the human brain, there is a specific area devoted to processing music. Similar to how they are tuned to speech, our brains are specifically geared to hear music over other surrounding stimuli. This implies that music must play a significant role in our lives.
When we are born we cry out with our first high notes; when we grow up we sing along to nursery rhymes; when we fall in love or want to impress the object of our affection we write songs about them; when sad or lonely we turn on the radio or put on some headphones.
Music connects us with others around us in ways that nothing else can match! Including music in your daily routine can bring joy into your life by helping you feel better emotionally, physically and spiritually.
Music lifts our spirits
Music is a powerful force that can lift our spirits. It has the power to heal and help us cope with grief. It can make us feel better when we are sad, anxious or depressed. It helps us get through the day, gives us something to look forward to and gives meaning to our lives.
It’s no surprise that we are drawn to the power of music. It is “a universal language and a powerful force that can lift our spirits,” according to a recent study published in Frontiers in Human Neuroscience.
Dopamine and endorphins are released into the body when we play or listen to music. These "happy" hormones have a role in controlling mood. We feel good just by listening to music.
We celebrate through music
Have you ever celebrated a birthday? Or did a friend get married? If so, music played an important part in those celebrations. Music is used to celebrate special occasions, like celebrating the holidays or commemorating historical events.
Playing music helps bring people together and gives them something to do together as they listen to it. It is a sort of art that enables us to enjoy ourselves, dance, and enjoy celebrating important occasions. In addition, it is a way for you to express yourself and transmit a message or your emotions. Music influences your behaviour during a range of events, according to research.
Music forges a community's identity
Music has the ability to forge a community's identity. It's not just about how we sound, but also how we look and feel. Music can be used to help build a community's self-awareness, and give them a better understanding of who they are as people.
Music can help express values that make up that group’s identity. It helps people define themselves in relation to their culture and history. According to studies, listening to music together strengthens interpersonal bonds. This association occurs as a result of the music's rhythmic ability to create brain synchronisation. They can better control their body movements as a result. Music can therefore affect how we collaborate as a group.
Through music, we may express ourselves
The majority of us can relate to the music we listen to since it not only uplifts our spirits and amuses us but also is evocative and reflects whatever feelings we may be experiencing.
Music is a universal language. It can be used to express feelings and emotions that are difficult to put into words. This makes music an ideal way for people from all different backgrounds to connect with one another.
Music makers can express themselves through their work. However, those who benefit are not limited to musicians. People who are listening can frequently relate to the music. That implies that communication is possible even when people are simply listening.
Music connects people - Conclusion
Music is amazing. It has the power to connect people and bring joy into their lives. We should use this tool wisely and not take it for granted. Music is a tool for communication, celebration and identity. It’s also a way to express yourself and connect with others.
Music can be used as a tool to communicate ideas, emotions and values from one person or culture to another. In this way music plays an important role in the development of culture across social groups.
In CalypsoRoom we believe as well that music is the most powerful tool to bring people together and that’s why we created a new place online where people can listen to it in a new active way: at the same time, together, connected by webcam.
