“Without music, life would be a mistake” F. Nietzsche.
In ancient times, 3 directions of the influence of music on the human body were distinguished:
1) on the spiritual essence of a person;
2) intelligence;
3) on the physical body.
Music enhances any joy, soothes any sorrow, expels disease, eases any pain.
History has preserved information that many historical personalities used the techniques of music therapy. Eskylap treated radicylitis with loud sounds of trumpets, once he returned madness with his music. The great doctor of antiquity, Avicenna, called the melody a "non-drug" method of treatment along with diet, smells and laughter. Man, as a part of the Universe, attuning through beautiful melodies to the harmonic sounds of the Cosmos, gains spiritual strength and physical health. This is what the ancient tracts say. To this understanding of music gradually comes and modern science since the 19th century. she has accumulated a lot of vital information about the impact of music on humans and living organisms, obtained as a result of experimental research.
Gradually, scientific data are accumulating, confirming the knowledge of the ancients that music is the most powerful source of energy that affects a person. The creator of musical pharmacology, the American scientist Robbert Schofler, prescribes with a therapeutic purpose to listen to all Tchaikovsky's symphonies and Mozart's works, as well as Schubert's "Forest King" oy "To Joy" by Beethoven from his 9th symphony. The chauffeur assures that these works contribute to the acceleration of recovery. Scientists from Samarkand came to the conclusion that the sounds of the piccalo flute and clarinet reduce blood circulation, and the slow and not loud melody of stringed instruments reduces blood pressure.

According to French scholars, Ravel's "Daphnis and Chloe" can be described by people suffering from alcoholism, and Handel's music "stabilizes" the behavior of schizophrenics. Pediatricians, pediatricians of the children's rehabilitation center, describe the impact of music on pregnant women. Classical music has a wonderful effect on the formation of the bone structure of the fetus. To the sounds of harmonic music, the child will develop harmoniously spiritually and physically while still in the mother's womb. The center's research has shown that musical vibrations have an impact on the entire body. It is especially recommended for future mothers to listen to the works of Mozart. By the way, experts consider Mozart's music to be a phenomenon in the field of the influence of music on living organisms. Experiments carried out confirm that this is indeed the case. After 10 minutes of listening to Mozart's piano music, the tests showed an increase in the so-called "intelligence quotient" y of the students participating in the experiment by 8-9 units on average. It has been established that the lyric melodies of Tchaikovsky, Chopin's mazypka, Liszt's rapsody help to overcome dysfunction, overcome pain, and gain spiritual strength.
Music can both help our mind to reach new heights, and reduce it to the level of unprecedented dullness. Our famous composer Andrey Petrov said that "pop music is a phenomenon imposed on us from the outside, with the help of which they want to turn us into a third world country."
Of all sounds, a person is most affected by the sounds made by a person. That is a voice. Pops are all encoded. Also, young people who are actively … listening to pop music, rock and rap (the rhythm of this music is about 150 beats per minute) fall into the band of "shamanic" frequencies (the rhythm of "delta waves" of the brain, observed on the electroencephalogram in a state of deep sleep trance, coma).
At present, the commercialization of the cultural sphere has created far from the best conditions for the functioning of highly artistic moral music, which is classical music. And without a cultural listener, true musical art still remains unclaimed. The muddy stream of "media product" corrupts the artistic consciousness of children. It is known that the simpler and more primitive the musical demands of the audience, the more space belongs to the flow of show business. It is obvious that the musical perception that will develop on such unarticulated material will not be able to be complete.
Communication with the world of sounds is available to children from birth. Moreover, as modern research of psychologists shows, perception is activated already in the perinatal (prenatal) period. Already in this period, and then in infancy and early childhood, children who systematically listen to music develop emotional responsiveness and establish a connection with the outside world.
Classical music strengthens the neurons of the child's brain, forms a strong connection between the right and left hemispheres of the brain, thereby contributing to the development of mental abilities and the acquisition of foreign languages. This is the conclusion reached by researchers from the University of the Italian city of Chieti. They discovered the so-called "Vivaldi effect", proving that regular listening to his famous symphonic composition "The Seasons" improves the properties of memory.
Numerous studies in different countries confirm that classical music not only harmonizes the psychological state of the child, but also contributes to the development of creativity, creative imagination, as well as attention and intelligence, helps to reveal the inner potential, communication skills and even the development of speech.
What kind of music should the kid play? Scientists do not have an exact answer to this question, but almost everyone advises listening only to the classics, especially Vivaldi, Liszt, Wagner, Schubert, Tchaikovsky, Chopin. Separately, it is worth noting the amazing health "Mozart effect". This child, who possessed a unique gift, from childhood began to write enchanting works that have a truly healing effect; when little children listening to the music of the great Austrian composer develop intellectually faster.
Mozart's music greatly surpasses many other musical works in its healing power. It restores energy balance, which we used to call health, creates harmony in the body and has a beneficial effect on the processes of brain activity. The tonal range of sound of Mozart's music is closest to the timbre colors of the human voice. And the unique smooth thirty-second transitions of his musical masterpieces coincide with the biorhythms in the cerebral hemispheres!
Scientists are currently working on identifying clear conclusions about the healing effect of music on the human body:
- in animal husbandry, as the Soviet press noted, milk yields in cows increased after the performance of Tchaikovsky's music on the radio, classical music accelerates the growth of wheat;
- when listening to classical music, physical pain disappears (it should be noted that such music is simply irreplaceable for rheumatism);
- patients who listen to classical music recover twice as fast as those who do not listen to music;
- dolphins listen to classical music with pleasure, and sharks, having heard classical pieces, gather to the epicenter of sound from all over the ocean coast;
- Flowers and other plants to classical music spread their leaves and petals faster.
One last thing: the impact of music on water. Water is able to structure itself depending on external vibrations. After “listening” to Mozart's symphonies with water, beautiful crystals of the correct configuration with distinct “rays” were obtained in its structure. Hard rock, on the other hand, turned these crystals into torn shards.
