A music composer is someone who plays with beats and turns out a piece of melody. This music could be soothing or unpleasant. It is said that what a composer produces greatly hinges on what they feel while composing the music.
For years, people have been using music to uplift their mood. It is known as the best therapy in a melancholic situation. On the other hand, it multiplies the happiness of happy moments.
Though people are familiar with the fact that music has huge impact on our mood, the scientific reason behind this effect has just been found. Scientists who were researching the relation of music to the human mind expounded that melody affects the functions of the human brain. This in result alters the overall functions of the body.
Also, music has some great healing powers. This is why it is used in several therapies to treat different ailments such as high blood pressure, depression and ADD in children. Anxiety, stress and pain are some other sicknesses that are treated by music. In addition, many music therapists recommend their patients to listen to relaxing music as it elates emotions.
Health practitioners now believe that good music composition not only elevates mood, it also pace up the healing process.
A research by Michael Thaut and his colleagues underlined how positive changes were observed in the behavior of patients with cerebral palsy, Parkinson's disease and stroke when they listened to good music. The progress in these patients was quite significant compared to those who did not listen to music in due course of their treatment.
"Surprisingly, patients with severe head injuries and dementia are also able to identify music," says Suzanne Hasner, chairperson of the music therapy department at Berklee College of Music in Boston.
Researchers also conducted research in which 10 musician (5 women and 5 men) were subjects. Blood used a device PET (positron emission tomography) to learn the effect of music on the human brain. In this research subjects listened to four different types of music in a sequence. This sequence was repeated thrice. According to on of the researchers, when subjects heard their favorite music PET detected the similar activity in the brain as is stimulated by sex and food.
Music composition not only affects our brain, it also alters the body's hormonal levels. For example, it reduces the level of cortisol (stress-related hormone) and increases level of melatonin in the body, which helps one fall asleep easily in a stressful condition.
