Music therapy effect on student’s success

 

There is a lot of research done on music therapy and its benefits. Music therapy helps everyone irrespective of physical and mental health and it is known to be specifically beneficial for students. Students are at a unique phase in life where they balance learning life skills for prolonged periods of time every day at school, learn social adaptation with peers, learn expectation management with parents, and are experiencing the joy of slowly becoming an independent adult. This is a tall ask for a young person and they need help from time to time to deal with all of this. Music therapy is one of the best interventions to give tools to a student to deal with these difficult challenges on their own. One way to experience music therapy and its benefits is to learn playing bansuri and we have online bansuri classes to help you with this.

Let’s dive into some specific benefits of music therapy now:

Helps Focus Better

Students learn copious amounts of subjects and are constantly tested if they have learnt the intended lessons well. In order to prepare for these regularly while juggling an active life, focus is quite important. The easiest way to deal with multitasking is to fully be committed to and, without any distractions, complete the task at hand well the very first time. That requires a clear plan and focus on execution. Studies have shown that children who are exposed to learning music have better ability to focus on any task at hand when compared to those who are not. The online bansuri classes by Shri Himanshu Nanda ji are specifically put together for students who want to do better.

Helps Manage Stress

Peer pressure, pressure to outperform everyone in class, pressure to learn, all of this can be overwhelming at times. When stress takes over the mind, its ability to work the way it is intended diminishes. It alters the mood and motivation to go on. Stress can also have physical manifestations in the form of headaches and body aches. Sometimes skin can break into a rash. Music can play a vital role in calming the mind and relieving the student of stress. Music is known to stabilize blood pressure and calm the heart and that directly impacts how our body copes with stress. Read more Healing Techniques of Bansuri for Relaxation.

Improves Memory

Learning music sharpens memory. The process of identifying notes and combining them in specific ways requires intense mental acrobatics. This has a direct positive impact on students in their learning journey especially while learning mathematics and languages. A big part of a student’s life is focused on improving memory and music therapy has a significant positive impact in this area. Our online music classes focus on this aspect through practice of specific compositions that flex the brain’s ability to improve memory.

Makes Brain Sharper

Repeated learning of complex patterns in music teaches the brain to build essential neural pathways. The more interconnected pathways are formed in the brain, the sooner the signals reach different parts improving the overall general cognitive ability. Mind becomes sharper in processing the inputs that it is receiving and this ability makes learning for a student a deeper experience.

Stabilizes Emotions

One of the greatest benefits of music therapy is that it stabilizes emotions. Music therapy is increasingly being used in patients suffering with terminal illness to help them cope with their circumstances. No matter how difficult the situation is, music has this magical ability to improve the mood. Students need this from time to time to cope with academics, peer pressure, and pressure of their own expectations. One of the things Himanshuji’s online bansuri lessons do is to help you listen to classical hindustani music better. There is a lot of research on how our classical music helps in calming the mind and taking away stress.

Improves Concentration

Music demands concentration. It automatically puts us in a state where we forget about everything else and focus on the rhythm, the melody, and the harmony. Research shows that students who are exposed to music therapy have higher concentration levels and are able to identify finer details in problems and solutions when compared to a group that is not. Focus and concentration are intensified when music is played in the background. For students studying, classical music is known to make them concentrate harder. In athletes, music with a strong rhythm is known to enhance their performance. It is no surprise that gyms play fast paced music to encourage people to workout harder.

Increases Awareness

One of the things music allows a person to hone is awareness. Learning to listen to music requires paying attention to the nuances. Those that undergo music therapy show the same amount of awareness in regular day-to-day work showing that this is a transferable skill. Hospitality industry uses this impact on the brain to their advantage by playing relaxing music in their premises. This increases the awareness of the surroundings and people are more aware of the effort put into stimulating all their senses.

Our guru Shri Himanshu Nandaji has studied both music and its impact on the human brain. He uses music therapy for autistic children to help them in their journey.
