The influence of music on society can be clearly
seen from modern history. Music helped Thomas Jefferson write the Declaration
of Independence. When he could not figure out the right wording for a certain
part, he would play his violin to help him. The music helped him get the words
from his brain onto the paper.
A world without music would be void and null, an
epitome of boredom, and an adventure of endless prayers.
Music can be define as a sound not just any sound
but a pleasing sound to the ear, it could also be a guide to playing a
particular tune.
Music to a child would be a lullaby to rock her to
that sweet sleep he/she had been longing for.
Music should be embraced and admitted in the
society, it should be use as a medium to communicate, treat, and even taught in
classrooms.
Music lovers
should keep on loving it and the haters should stop hating and castigating it,
if only they know its potency then they would embrace it too.
It cannot be proven that two people can feel the
exact same thing from hearing a piece of music. For example, early missionaries
to Africa thought that the nationals had bad rhythm. The missionaries said that
when the nationals played on their drums it sounded like they were not beating
in time. However, it was later discovered that the nationals were beating out
complex polyrhythmic beats such as 2 against 3, 3 against 4, and 2 against 3
and 5, etc. These beats were too advanced for the missionaries to follow.
Speech
and music have a number of shared processing systems. Musical experiences which
enhance processing can therefore impact on the perception of language which in
turn impacts on learning to read. Active engagement with music sharpens the
brain’s early encoding of linguistic sound. Eight year old children with just 8
weeks of musical training showed improvement in perceptual cognition compared
with controls.
Learning
to play an instrument enhances the ability to remember words through
enlargement of the left cranial temporal regions. Musically trained
participants remembered 17% more verbal information that those without musical
training.
Learning an instrument has an impact on
intellectual development, particularly spatial reasoning. A review of 15
studies found a ‘strong and reliable’ relationship, the author likening the
differences to one inch in height or about 84 points on standardised school
tests. A study contrasting the impact of music lessons (standard keyboard,
Kodaly voice) with drama or no lessons found that the music groups had reliably
larger increases in IQ. Children in the control groups had average increases of
4.3 points while the music groups had increases of 7 points. On all but 2 of
the 12 subtests the music group had larger increases than control groups.
Opera organizers cannot send an invitation to
an American rap-group, what do you want them to say or sing?
They want music real music with eccentric
lyrics and vocal cords, they don't need bunch of talkative that do not
know their lyrics from lyrics, they just wake up one morning and
start talking telling the world that they are singing.
Music should be listened and adorned with such
carefulness and praise, music in India is considered to be sacred and mystical
because the lyrics are so possessive and fetish.
In a case study on music production in
Kogi state, it was discovered that record labels and music producers would
rather pick an artiste from another state but to pick from Kogi would be like
you picking your kola-nut from a muddy water, but these producers are wrong
because just there are lots of raw talents in Kogi state, I am not saying these
because I am an indigene but because I am sad and unhappy about the whole bias
and partiality of these music producers, if they want music and real tunes then
I am telling them this from the bottom of my heart to please stop castigating
and making the people of Kogi to feel bad, it isn't fair, it is an act of
ungodly prefix.
My final draw on all this will be the acceptance
and embracement of music, because it will not only benefit us in some ways but
also make us to know the true meaning of it.
