Everyone knows that music affects the mental activity of a person, but this influence is still underestimated. Meanwhile, all repeated sounds cause a change in the psyche and in the consciousness of a person: some have a beneficial effect on a person, others destructively.
An outstanding Russian scientist, director of the Institute of the Brain, Vladimir Bekhterev, dealt a lot with the issues of brain activity and believed that classical music has a positive effect on blood circulation, respiration, and gives the body physical vigor.
Scientists in the course of experiments have found out exactly how music affects a person. The result was as follows: after 10 minutes of sounding Mozart's piano music, the participants' IQ increased by an average of 6-7 units. The following was also found out:
Bach's music helps to enhance intellectual abilities;
Beethoven's music purifies the heart, teaches to forgive;
Schumann's music helps to understand children;
Wagner's music lends a desire for unity with other people;
Jazz enhances sex drive;
The music of composers Frank Cesar, Scriabin, Debussy introduces us to the music of the Higher spheres;
Heavy music has a destructive effect on the human psyche: it leads to depression and phobias;
Pop music dulls, leads to illusions, detaches from reality.
As for folk music, this is the soul of the people, its essence. Therefore, you should not get too carried away with the music of other countries. For example, folk Slavic music - melodious and melodious - calls for reflection and knowledge of the surrounding world, unity with it. It differs sharply, say, from the music of African peoples: explosive, with a clear and fast rhythm. It is impossible to concentrate under it, it changes behavior and disrupts the interconnections between the neural circuits of the brain, reduces intelligence, and also causes irreversible consequences in the cerebral cortex.
According to the Doctor of Philosophy, Associate Professor of the Moscow State Pedagogical University named after V. I. Lenin Todor Dichev, the constant borrowing of other people's musical rhythms is not at all harmless. The fact is that national melodies formed over the centuries are consonant with the original biopulsations of each ethnic group. Therefore, alien rhythms destroy the stereotypes of human behavior, thereby depriving him of self-identification and harmony with the environment.
Hence - deviation in behavior, destruction of moral norms and loss of true human values. Especially destructive music can affect the fragile child's psyche. Therefore, it is worth thinking about which music to give preference to.
