You can get stuck listening to music by tapping your foot and moving your head. According to Wikipedia, music can be described as the art or science of combining vocal or instrumental sounds (or both) to create beauty, harmony, and expressions of emotion. Many people today have developed an appreciation for music. But playing music with monitors make a big difference. Below are the benefits of appreciating music.
Shortens Learning Time
Students of all disciplines can acquire knowledge and skills more quickly if they reduce their affective “barriers” or filters to learning. Most students learn more when they are relaxed, more attentive, and more receptive. This can be true for teachers and foreign language learners as well.
Improves Test Score
Many foreign language learners and other types of students say that test anxiety is one of the main reasons for poor test scores. Many different styles of music are effective in reducing stress and test anxiety. This leads to better test scores.
Improves Creativity
In previous articles we have discussed how music can change the state of brain waves. This can have a direct effect on creativity and imagination. You can try this: close your eyes while listening to Beethoven, Chopin, and Mozart. Notice how images immediately begin to flow through your mind. Introduce a problem/issue. Your subconscious, right side and left side will work together and offer you different solutions.
Integrates Brain Hemisphere
The theory of dual psychology explains that the brain uses its two hemispheres to perform different functions. Creativity, imagination, colors, and music are found in the right hemisphere of the brain. Music helps integrate both hemispheres of the brain.
Spoken and written language, logic, reasoning, numbers and other skills are in the left hemisphere. The corpus callosum is a link between the two hemispheres of the brain. This leads to better thinking and learning.
