How music affects us is connected through our brains neurochemistry, our mental associations with the music, our culture, and our spirit, which are all mentioned in this scientific journey. Through this journey the writer perplexed me with scientific and musical vocabulary and redundant examples, but at the same time, I was fascinated with his description of the anatomy of the brain and why we enjoy the music we prefer listening to. I must admit that I had high expectations for this book because of my appreciation for music and what a significant role it plays in my life. However, when I began reading, I found the beginning of the book to be very abstruse. Knowing the definitions of pitch, timbre, meter and loudness, to name a few, do not help me enjoy music more than what I already do.
“Sometimes normal musical imagery crosses a line and becomes, so to speak pathological, as when a certain fragment of music repeats itself incessantly, sometimes maddeningly, for days on end.”(100). This is called “brain worms” and it is something we all have to deal with at one point or another because of music constantly surrounding us. It does not seem like a big deal, but it is, especially when it
Music has changed drastically over the past many years. People went from listening to records of classical music, to computer generated hip-hop. The huge change has to do with new technology being produced in the music industry. Besides just new production technology, there has been new methods invented to change the way we obtain and listen to music. We used to only be able to listen to music in our own houses, and now we could have hundreds of songs being carried in our pockets, ready to play at the touch of a button.
Kiesha Stombaugh Professor Vanderwalker English 101 T/TH 2 P.M. September 14, 2013 Rough Draft #1 MUSIC Music is everywhere you go no matter where you are there is always music. Best way to start the day is your alarm going off playing a song that you like, makes you want to get out of bed and start dancing, what better way to try and wake up then dancing. Music sets my mood every morning, as soon as my alarm goes off I get up and want to start dancing. Music is a great way to start my day. It is a very big part of my life and has made me the person that I am today.
What is significant is that music has the ability to shape, motivate, and inspire a person’s emotions easily, and effectively. A lot of people usually take this into consideration, but not as deeply as I in this matter. I am confident that my overall experience is a much clearer and better one as I now get the importance of music’s role in our
This paper focuses on the paradigm of the healing hospital, examines its influence on the care giving process, and details the components in terms of spirituality. In a Healing Hospital, there are three basic components that make it what it is. A healing physical environment allows for patients to recover and feel well rested. Some external environmental factors include noise, stress, or morbid settings. This can result in panic or anxiety for the patients and the families.
A huge part of music producing is being open to music, different genres, and the different people that will be working with. Any producer that is able to handle a lot of different people and music genres will be extremely successful. At this point, it is important to get the experience needed for this
Patients should follow their doctor’s recommendations on health care and checkups (Elekta, n.d.). Having regular checkups allows problems to be detected and treated promptly (Elekta, n.d.). When people have cancer, life can change for them and for the people who care about them (Elekta, n.d.). These changes in daily life can be difficult to handle. It’s natural for a person with Hodgkin’s disease to have many different and sometimes confusing emotions (Elekta,
I know that as a nurse, I will see patients with many different worldviews and I will be open to them and work with them to help them spiritually. Religion and spirituality can be huge in treating patents by using meditation and prayer in healing (Krietzer et al, 2012). This can cause patients to forgive and have hope, which can change their attitude on the disease and ultimately the outcome of the disease. References Krietzer, M., Dossey, L., & Groopman, J. (2012).
Music Therapy Musical therapy is the clinical use of music to achieve individual goals and improve relationships; it is also considered a form of Psychotherapy. Melodies and harmonies are used to transport patients to new and safe places. The sweet rhythms bring peace and relaxation to stressed minds. Self-worth is found between each melodic note, and anxiety and depression are long forgotten. Memories that were once lost are now found, and medication is improved by this one simple healing tool.
