Can you imagine your life without music? As more and more people around us\nstarted to learn different musical instruments, we started to grow interest in\nmusic and in different musical instruments. But still, many people learn\nmusical instruments simply because their family forced them to. Nevertheless,\nhave you ever thought of why we are forced to learn musical instruments and\nwhat benefits do we get from them? I agree that all students must learn to play\nat least one musical instrument and I am going to show you why.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nFirst of all, playing musical instruments builds up our self-confidence\nand gives us a sense of achievement and satisfaction. After students learnt an\ninstrument and knew how to play a beautiful song with it, students would feel\nproud of their skills as their classmates may not know how to play that\ninstrument or that song. Also, after practising their instrument day by day,\nwhen they finally achieved their goal, like passing their ABRSM Music\nExaminations, they will have positive emotions which brings a sense of\nsatisfaction. Furthermore, if students learn to play instruments, they can\nlearn to overcome different difficulties with ease. With each new learning\nprogress, they can remove sticks and stones away from their path. Gradually,\nthey will get better and better at problem solving so it strengthens their self-confidence\nand makes them strong mentally, even in non-musical situations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nMoreover, playing instruments can relieve stress and bring positive\nemotions. Every time we’re under pressure or stress, we listen to songs on\nYouTube, Spotify or Joox, and we’ll cheer up in a moment, but what’s the\ndifference if we’re playing the music? According to the website of Shankar\nMahadevan Academy, researchers studying the benefits of music have reported\nthat playing a musical instrument on a regular basis can help bring down\nstress. Studies show that playing an instrument helps in lowering the heart\nrate and blood pressure, which in turn lowers the stress hormone cortisol, thus\nmaking us feel relaxed. While just listening to music also helps, learning to\nplay an instrument brings with it a comforting routine of daily practice that\nhelps in keeping the stress hormones away. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nBesides, playing instruments can make us smarter. According to research\nfrom the University of Zurich, regularly playing a musical instrument changes\nthe shape and power of the brain. It found that musicians have structurally and\nfunctionally different brains when compared to non-musicians. In fact, it\u2019s\nindicated that playing music can increase IQ by up to 7 points in both adults\nand children. So actually the brain functions tend to decline with age if we’re\nnot playing music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nYet, some argue that students are usually forced to learn musical\ninstruments by their parents and actually they have zero interest in them.\nHowever, it is not the case because through the learning process of it,\nstudents can develop interests in them and start loving them. They can treat\nthe everyday practice as a habit. On the contrary, some oppose this idea as\nthey argue that students won’t have time to learn so many extra-curricular\nactivities. But then students can also learn to have good time management so\nthat they can learn musical instruments or have other activities and they won’t\nget too busy which causes the lack of sleep or affects their mental health just\nbecause they don’t have enough time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nTo sum up, learning musical instruments can change student’s\npersonalities in a good way, bringing them happiness and improves student’s\nbrain functions. Therefore, I strongly agree that students must learn to play\nat least one musical instrument. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
