You can express yourself through music. Your lyrics can tell a story that you have gone through, went through, or are going through. The instrument that you’re playing could be used to tell a story. You can tell people how you are feeling without actually having to say it (Ex. Playing a sad song when you are sad). While music can help you express
your emotions it can also help get them out.
Music is a great way to relieve stress. When you are upset or angry you can put all of your negative energy into writing or playing a song. There are studies that show that music can calm you down. If you feel stressed you can listen to or play music to get your mind off of it. Not only can music relieve stress but it can also bring people together.
Music can bring people together. There are studies that show singing in a choir releases a chemical in the brain (oxytocin) that makes people feel more bonded. Music increases contact with others (Ex. Choirs, bands, orchestras, etc.). Music can bring together all races, ethnicities, and religions. Music can do so many great things.
I would love to have a career in music. I want to be a music therapist and help people through my music. I want others to feel the same way I do about music. If I could change one life through music my life would be complete. “Behind everyone’s favorite song is an untold story” -anonymous
