Keep Your Brain Young with Music
September 22, 2019 - 12:03 PM
If you want to firm up your body, head to the gym. If you want to exercise your brain, listen to music. “There are few things that stimulate the brain the way music does,” says one Johns Hopkins otolaryngologist. “If you want to keep your brain engaged throughout the aging process, listening to or playing music is a great tool. It provides a total brain workout.” Research has shown that listening to music can reduce anxiety, blood pressure, and pain as well as improve sleep quality, mood, mental alertness, and memory. The Brain-Music Connection Experts are trying to understand how our brains can hear and play music. A stereo system puts out vibrations......

The Healing Power of Music
July 22, 2019 - 08:05 AM
“Music is a moral law. It gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and charm and gaiety to life and to everything.”~Plato George Moran, 39, a music teacher in Long Valley, N.J had a cardiac valve repaired at Morristown Memorial Hospital requiring his heart to be stopped for 90 minutes, placing him on a heart-lung machine. While in the recovery room, he heard the sound of a woman playing a beautiful harp, quietly and slowly. The harpist’s gentle arpeggios, according to the researchers studying the effects of music in recovery, may have helped regulate Moran’s heart rate, breathing and blood pressure. Although, at the......
6 Ways Music Can Heal You
July 14, 2019 - 10:36 PM
By Louise Jensen I love music enough to incorporate sound healing into my practice, and I see the joy it brings people every day. But, here are some things you may not know about the power in music: 1) When we listen to music our brain releases dopmaine which is a feel good chemical essential for the healthy functioning of the central nervous system; it has effects on emotion, perception and movement. 2) Music is proven to physiologically affect heart rate, breathing and pulse rate resulting in physical chills of pleasure. A study was undertaken by Dr Mike Miller of Baltimore, who measured the effects of music on the cardiovascular system by measuring blood vessel size before,......

Does Music Help You Study? With that highly detailed Biology exam just around the corner, you have been hitting the books with every spare second you have. During nightly, starlit studying sessions, you continuously trudge past midnight, and the hours multiply. What if there was a more beneficial practice rather than spending hours upon hours of silence in your bedroom? The Theory You have likely heard before that music helps you study. But, do you know why parents and professors alike are urging you to tune to iTunes? Studies have shown that music produces several positive effects on a human’s body and brain. Find out music’s effect on your body and brain, and see......
Ageing in harmony: why the third act of life should be musical
June 07, 2019 - 11:58 AM
It’s never too late to pick up a musical instrument. In fact there are many reasons why it’s a great idea, particularly in old age. We normally hear about reasons to increase music education for children, and for good cause. There are many cognitive and social benefits to playing an instrument that aid a child’s development. Consequently, as an older adult, there are long-term effects of having taken part in these musical activities, as it can limit cognitive decline. Even a small amount of training can have long lasting effects. But this doesn’t mean that those who have never played an instrument in childhood have missed the boat. The......
Is there a link between music and happiness?
May 14, 2019 - 10:04 PM
BY MOLLY EDMONDS Enjoying a musical like "West Side Story" or "Singin' in the Rain" requires believing that it's perfectly plausible for people to begin singing and dancing during moments of extreme emotion. Be it the highs and lows of teenage love in "Grease" or the determination of a plucky orphan in "Annie," musical numbers provide insight into a character's state of mind. Take "The Sound of Music," in which twirling and singing atop a mountain is enough to help a potential nun who doesn't fit in at the convent find her bliss. That character would go on to teach the miracle of singing to seven unhappy children, and not even the dastardly deeds of the Nazis could get that family......
How Music Activates Our Brain's Reward Center
April 08, 2019 - 07:00 AM
Researchers found that reward prediction errors from music correlated with activity in the nucleus accumbens, a brain region that in previous studies has been shown to activate when the subject is experiencing musical pleasure. Credit: Ben Gold If you love it when a musician strikes that unexpected but perfect chord, you are not alone. New research shows the musically unexpected activates the reward center of our brains, and makes us learn about the music as we listen. Researchers led by Ben Gold, a PhD candidate in the lab of Robert Zatorre at The Neuro (Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital), of McGill University, put 20 volunteers through a musical reward learning task. Each......
How can music help people who have Alzheimer's disease?
April 02, 2019 - 07:00 AM
Research suggests that listening to or singing songs can provide emotional and behavioral benefits for people with Alzheimer's disease and other types of dementia. Musical memories are often preserved in Alzheimer's disease because key brain areas linked to musical memory are relatively undamaged by the disease. For example, music can: Relieve stress Reduce anxiety and depression Reduce agitation Music can also benefit caregivers by reducing anxiety and distress, lightening the mood, and providing a way to connect with loved ones who have Alzheimer's disease — especially those who have difficulty communicating. If you'd like to use music to help a loved one who has......
How music can help dementia patients recover some memory
March 26, 2019 - 07:00 AM
ORLANDO, Fla. - Researchers found that music helps dementia patients recall emotions and memories. Alzheimers.net says by pairing music with everyday activities, patients can develop a rhythm to recall the memory of that activity, improving cognitive ability over time. A new case of dementia is diagnosed every three seconds, and doctors are still searching for answers. Dr. James Galvin, MPH, director of the Comprehensive Center for Brain Health at Charles E. Schmidt College of Medicine explained to Ivanhoe, “If you look at all the things we know that may be associated with the risk of developing dementia, the two strongest are age and family history, and I can’t......
