The power of music

1 (   )

     Nowadays it’s almost impossible to escape from music, even if we want to. It thunders out of every high-street shop, hisses horribly from other people’s stereos on  public transport, and blasts out of open car windows.

2 (   )

      Although many of us enjoy music, very few of us have any real idea of the effect music has on us. Most people assume that musical tastes are subjective that one person will like jazz while another prefers classical. In fact, recent research in America and Australia has shown that appreciation of music is not a matter of individual taste. Certain types of music will have a particular effect on our minds and bodies, whether we like them or not. For instance, early classical music will help us feel relax and peaceful. Other types of classical music, such as the music of J. S. Bach and Mozart, are stimulating to the brain, encouraging curiosity and alertness. While classical music promotes loving feelings, hard rock music is a particularly good example of music that makes us feel hate, jealousy, and violence.

3 (   )

      As a result of this research, music is being used in hospitals, and doctors have found that 20 minutes of soothing music is often far more effective than tranquillizers. For example, after a recent operation, Fiona Richmond was not allowed to listen to her favorite heavy metal group, Instead, she was made to listen to gentle classical music because it was good for her.

4 (   )

Scientific work on the healing power of music started with plant research in the 1970s. Interestingly, many types of classical music speeded plant growth, whereas heavy metal caused plants to grow away from the speakers and die.

Read the text again. Are these statements true or false?

1. Our taste in music is personal.
2. Music can affect us physically.
3. The only music which affects us positively is music that we like.
4. Music can be used to cure people in hospitals.
5. Certain types of music can be harmful.

T. The following adjectives are often used to describe music. Match them with their opposite.

1. Loud discordant

2. Joyful modern

3. Gentle harsh

4. Soothing depressing

5. Violent exciting

6. Happy peaceful

7. Traditional sad

8. Harmonious quiet

Listen to four pieces of music. Use the adjectives to describe them. Which one did you like?

Discuss these questions:

1. Do you believe rock music can be harmful? Why? Why not?

•           I believe rock music can be harmful, because it’s always played loud and can damaged people’s ears, it can make people aggressive, the words to the music can encourage negative feelings;
•           I don’t agree. It can make people make feel excited and full of life, it can make people want to dance and do exercises, it stimulate the mind and gives people creative energy;
•           Besides, many people don’t like relaxing music because it is boring. They feel better when they listen to some lively and rhythmic sounds.

2. What about symphonies? Some people think that symphonies are very difficult to understand?

•           The idea that symphonies are difficult to understand is wrong.  In fact, classical music is easy to understand if you listen to it often enough.

3. What music do you listen to in hospital after a serious operation? Why?

- I would listen to gentle classical music because it is good for me; to some pop music with a nice melody; relaxing and slow music.

Reading text “Music’s surprising power to heal”

MUSIC’S SERPRISING POWER TO HEAL

       Marianne Sterbely was lying on a hospital bed waiting for the operation. She was hooked up to a computer that monitored her heart rate and brain waves, she was also hooked up, by earphones, to a CD of Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons.

       During the operation, the surgical team listened to Mozart and Brahms from another CD player. “Music reduces staff tension in the operating theatre”, says Dr Clyde Nash, Marianne’s surgeon, “and also helps to relax the patient”.

       Marianne claims the music was much better than medication. This was her second operation and this time the music helped her to remain calm and she didn’t need as much sedation. After the operation she was able to manage without pain killers simply by listening the music. Nash was one of many doctors who are finding that music can to heal the sick. But how does it help?

       When the body is stressed, our heart beats faster, and we take in more air.  Studies show that music can help us to reduce the effect of this by lowering our blood-pressure and breathing rate. Music can also reduce pain by making our bodies to produce endorphins (natural pain relievers).

       The benefits of music are not confined to people who are ill. Music can help us in our daily lives. For example, playing a favorite song before an important exam or big match can allow us to relax and forget our worries. In this way we can face difficult situations with a calm heart and clear mind.
