Art can be expressed in many
forms. It may be expressed in a drawing or a painting. Music and dancing can
also be an art. Performance art like playing an instrument can also be an art.
There is also a combination of the two like drama or a musical where people
sing and dance at the same time. Art diversified as time passed and now, it is
being combined with technology. There are instruments like digital piano and
synthesizers that make the music richer.
Many people say that this
progressive trend of art is harming its original form. More people are
beginning to ignore the original types of arts like classical music. Not many
people these days favor classical music over dub steps. It is important to
treasure the original types of music. However, if only the original types are
favored, there will be no change in art. Art develops because it follows the
trend. As time passes, the trend is going to change. Also, there are still
people who love original types of arts. As long as it is completely ignored by
the human society, it is going to exist in the world.
Music is therapeutic. Many people
use music to heal people’s emotional or mental problems, and results show that
they are truly effective. There are also other experiments that are not based
on humans. The experiment shows that plants that are exposed to classical music
regularly are more likely to grow faster and healthier than those that are not.
The experiment also showed that not every kinds of music worked. Music like
heavy metal on the contrast had a negative effect on the plant. Plants that
were exposed to fast tempo songs became ill even though they had ample amount
of sunlight and water. Slow tempo songs, especially classical music, worked the
best. It is assumed that this is because slow tempo songs calm the mind. Music
promotes peace in one’s mind, and this both helps human and non-humans.
Although classics are not my
favorites, I was constantly exposed to them as I grew up. I played clarinet in
band, and some of our songs in band were classical music. Before, I just detested listening to them.
Now, I can actually appreciate the beauty of it (although I don’t enjoy it as
much as listening to fast tempo songs). Listening to classical music calms my mind
and actually it really did help me focus more on whatever I am working on.
Still, I favor fast tempo songs. Slow tempo songs tend to calm people and fast
tempo songs tend to excite people.
I love music also because they
invoke memories about the past. Sometimes, it brings up bad memories, but most of
the time, they remind me of the good times I had. Thinking about these memories
bring happiness at least for a moment (listening to music is a way to escape
reality) and lets me forget about whatever that is going around in my life
(usually bad). Music is like another part of the world. World that is not
realistic but more like imaginative. Listening to music is a way of relieving
stress. Without music, I would be stressed every day trying to figure out a way
to escape reality.
