Press Release Body = MUSIC THERAPY \"Whistle while you work\" is a practise which has more or less died out in the industrialized world. In London people sit on the train headphones in their ears listening to music and with a book in their hands desperately trying to create their own personal, private space in a noisy, overcrowded environment.
Noise pollution assails us wherever we go these days. But I would be willing to wager that 90.0% of those seemingly unfriendly travelers are, in fact, perfectly open to contact with other people if the other person was the first to make the move. Unfortunately many people do not know how to form relationships never having been taught how to or are too scared to do so. They take refuge in a world which they create while listening to music.
Loud music and house boundaries must be two of the major causes of dispute amongst neighbors. Our demands for instant gratification have led to a lack of tolerance. Overly loud music damages us mentally and physically. Tension headaches and gradual loss of hearing being two obvious effects. We are becoming evermore sensitive to the effects of noise. This I believe is having an especially detrimental effect on babies and young children. They do not know what silence and peace and quiet are. Even while asleep they can still pick up the sound vibrations from the television and numerous other pieces of equipment. These energies do not act as a lullaby!
In the days of ballroom dancing the choice of music was deliberately chosen to vary the mood from time to time.- fast and light hearted, slow and romantic and the dancers responded appropriately. Now popular music seems to be relentlessly loud and high energy.
Sometimes without being consciously aware of the fact we are all trying to give ourselves music therapy. Music therapy must be as old as mankind. From the time we first lived in communities we have used music to heal, to celebrate, to mourn and on countless other occasions as well.
Music has a valuable part to play in all our lives. It helps us weather the ups and downs of life. But listening to music has become for many people a very solitary activity. We need to learn to create and to share music more. It might just help world peace!
