| << Everyone has his/her favorite genre of music. Some
people like and often listen to classical music. Others prefer pop music,
or rock, jazz, R&B and so on. Although there are also many people not
familiar with music itself so much like me, most of us enjoy listening to
certain kinds of music. Why do they listen to music? From my
experience, I think this is because listening to music is the good way of
relaxing ourselves.
Listening to our favorite music can recharge the battery
of our mind. In the daily life, we usually accumulate some mental and
physical stress and if we continue to consider the problems like conflicts with
others or trouble on business, irritation of slow progress of our skills and
knowledge and so on, we would be depressed to be mentally and physically
sick. However in fact, favorite music entertain our mind and release us
from these troublesome things by making us forget them temporally. This is
precious chance for our mind to have enough rest to recover our mind and to deal
with them adequately.
Some masterpieces move our mind which gives us good
opportunity to show our feeling. Express our real mind is one of our
instinct. Please imagine of comfort and satisfaction we feel when we show
our real mind through writing or saying our opinion and expressing it through
artistic method such as pecture and performance of musical instrument.
Even listening to masterpiece can become an impetus of statement of our
feeling because it makes us emphasize with the musicians' feeling. Discover of
great performance provoke our certain feeling like sadness or pleasure.
Therefore, we feel satisfaction or comfort to move our mind by listening to good
musical performance. This satisfaction also leads to heal our mind and relax our
mind by reducing mental stresses.
In this way, listening to music enables us to forget our
serious problems accumulating in daily life. Music plays important part in
coping with stress and keep sound condition of our mind. I think that is
why people listen to music.
