Benefits of Raleigh, NC Symphony Entertainment
Although we do not want it, during the day, we are always exposed to sound stimuli that do not leave us indifferent. But this note will not talk about the noise of traffic, barking dogs, or sounds of machinery, but rather about how music causes physiological changes in us, which, many times, are pleasant and benign for our body, but especially for our brain.
Specifically, classical or orchestrated music, which harmoniously fuses the sounds of strings, winds, brass, percussion, etc., generates positive benefits for people, whether it is heard “packaged” or live. But what would these benign effects be on our bodies?
Relaxation and Less Stress
Collaborating Cultural Organizations
The answer is given to us by the psychologist Nithcel Tapia Olivares, who delivers her arguments from both sides of the stage since she has also been a cellist and singer in the Coquimbo Philharmonic Orchestra, a group belonging to the Coquimbo Philharmonic Foundation and which has financing from the Ministry of Cultures, Arts, and Heritage through its Support Program for Collaborating Cultural Organizations.
It Stimulates More Relaxation
“Music, in general, has effects on people, on an emotional level and a physical and biological level,” explains Nithcel, but he also states that classical music generates deeper changes: “It stimulates more relaxation, the reduction of stress, attention span, creative processes. So, classical music in itself has that effect more linked to calm, to tranquility, to relaxation; It even manages to relax or lower blood pressure, on a biological level, and allows us to sleep better.”
Driving Activates The Brain
These effects have to do with how orchestrated music is “constructed,” as opposed to a melody with lyrics. “Classical music has conduction; it has a construction that is always guided, a calmer resolution that leads the body to calm down,” says the professional, also explaining that “the tones lead to the exploration of certain emotions, For example, major keys have always been associated with the most pleasant, joyful emotions, and minor keys have always been associated more with the emotions of sadness.”
And what happens in the brain when faced with musical stimulation? “If we speak more biologically when the brain receives this music, it not only listens to it but also different areas are activated, such as the auditory cortex, the motor cortex, the prefrontal cortex, and the hippocampus. So many areas in the brain are activated that not only lead us to listen but also evoke memories, make us move, make us have sensations; So, the body responds completely to music,” explains Nithcel.
This brain stimulation also allows music to be used therapeutically. According to the professionals, it is used in some treatments to help people. “Music itself, as it also acts biologically, helps people carry out certain processes, and as it also activates memories, for example, it helps people with Alzheimer's to remember better. So, classical music itself has a transversal effect on people, where the common denominator of music would be stress relief and calm.”
