Music Man

Every human being has their own hobbies that they love to indulge in during their spare time. My hobby is listening to music. Even when I was a small kid I found myself going to sleep the moment my mother sang me a melodious song and music has remained my main-stay ever since.

At home when I am alone, I will just play the songs on my hand phone. When I am on my way to school, you can spot me by my bright orange ear piece. I simply love listening to music, especially the rock songs.

They say that music has a soothing quality. I totally agree with it and have experienced this myself many times. At home, when I am angry at something and lose my temper my hands will always reach-out for my hand phone and ear piece and within a flash I will be normal again. I really go ga-ga over music.

Do you know I listen to music because it helps me to concentrate better in my studies? You think it’s weird and can’t believe but it’s true! It really brings me at ease and helps me to focus on the topic that I am reading.

There are times when I feel sad and lonely but it’s the music that always lifts me up, soothes my nerve and makes me forget about all my worries. And when I am happy the rhythm of the drums and guitar makes me tap my feet and dance to the beat in a natural way. I simply can’t get enough of that lilting music.

Doctor recommends music as a therapy to some. The sound waves emanating from the speakers reaches and affects our brain in a positive way and makes the brain waves to work on the same beat, resulting in better concentration, when the music played is more alert, or calming down, when the beat is slower. Its effect lasts longer than the music that means you can be in a state of alert for a longer time, or you can feel calmer for a little longer.

Not only music simulates our brain waves and our minds, but it controls our bodies as well. Certain stimuli are transported even further than our nervous systems, affecting our breathing and heart rate. When we listen to soothing music, our breathing rate and our heart rate settle down, making us feel less stressed and healthier.

All this and hundreds of other reasons, I will always keep on listening to music and I hope you all too will stay tuned with me!!!
