Everyone has their own rhythm of pacing and managing tasks. Like musical notes, human experiences also vary according to the tempo of life. Unquestionably, the emotional vicissitudes like music that plays with the human mind and thus reflects on our moods. But what if we take over the strings of music to command over our own tenors as it pleases? Can music be a strength to defend a child's brains against the vulnerabilities of their ungovernable fluctuating moods?
According to Karen Norris, music therapist at Children's Health, Dallas.
"music is a great coping tool for children. It can help during a time of transition, reduce stress and create a bonding experience."
The calming effects of music can relax the brain and body. Let's think about music taught in schools. While this integration is mandated by many significant boards like CBSE and ICSE, effective implementation still remains beyond schools with the best interiors.
Have you ever wondered why children often wish to skip school? There are many reasons, such as leaving the comfort of homes, learning difficulties, and other social problems. In addition, the rigorous study schedules from 8 am to 2 pm with just a half an hour of lunch break and ineffective extracurricular activities burdened with evening coaching classes can be stressful. Amidst this hassle, music lessons will prove to be a refreshing activity. Madhavi Kaulgi, a music therapist, speaks of music as a major stress buster. With its healing properties of enhancing the mood, a piece of melody can quickly alleviate feelings of loneliness and stress, boost immunity, and ease muscle tension.
Today, parents have a strictly divergent opinion about their children learning music. For some, it is just a means to top-up the monthly expenses, while others want their children to be all-rounders. But between these two thoughts, many parents forget the practical need for music in their lives. Our career-oriented parents should understand that success does not solely rely on reinforcing academic lessons. Music lessons enhance the child's dedication towards short-term goals. They encourage children to develop a routine and learn self-discipline. Taking out regular time for practice will build their commitment and patience. With every lead, they will come with pride, achievement, and self-confidence.
The demand for excellence in every field can turn out to be even more dismal. Who does not like to see a smile on their child's face? Well, music can be one source, then. The magic of rhythm can benefit children as young as a year old. It will improve their communication ability, which will lead to more frequent smiles and, not to forget, a rise in increased sophisticated brain responses. Unlike harsh school timetables, music will give them the power of free will. As they start to learn more about music, they can create their own music as it may please them. Improvisation on embellishments with a creative touch to a musical piece will back them up with a sense of excitement and fulfillment.
