Review of Literature
Music can help people in many different ways. Therefore, people define music in many distinct ways.
People often use music to relieve their stresses. Music can be a stress reliever to a person by giving energy to people(Scott). I strongly agree with this, because I always listen to music whenever I have time in between my busy schedules. Music is like a wonderful backdrop that allows me to be fulfilled in a very short period. For example, while going to another class right after one class I always listen to music. Even though it is a very short period, I always get energy to continue my busy day.
Music also can be like a medicine that reduces pain. People who are treated with medicine along with music in any disease get less pain compared to people who are just treated with medicine(Maroney). Although I have never really had serious illnesses, listening to music really often helped me to forget about pain and sadness. For example, last October I caught a cold for the first time in college. Even though I was sick I still had to do all of my homework and study for tests. In order to really energize me and make me forget about pain I listened to music. Just absorbing the lyrics and melodies of songs lessened my pain. Without music I would not have finished all my work.
Music can be looked at as another language, because it is a way of expression(Landau). Music often helps people convey their feelings and allows them to communicate with others. I personally have felt how powerful music is in terms of communication by easily making friends when I first came to America. Before I joined a concert band, I really could not speak clearly with others due to my weak English. However, as I started to share my emotional feelings through playing guitar and clarinet, other musicians started to appreciate my emotional feelings and talked to me. Music is an universal way to express one's feeling, and it can really allow people to know about each other.
Finally music can help people forget about their exhaustion. Music boosts one's physical output by allowing him or her to forget about how tired they are(Hughes). I also think music often acts as an energizer in my life. Just listening to my favorite artists gives me motivation to study despite being tired from arduous classes and band practices.
Music can be defined in a lot of ways and can help us in our lives. However, the basic point is the same for all these different definitions. No matter how differently music is enjoyed and used by different individuals, music always helps people. Whether it is used as a stress reliever, a medicine, a way of expression, or an energizer, music positively affects people. This is why music has been with people for a very long time and continues to stay with people.
