Music is so related with our daily lives. We
can hear music almost everywhere, such as in shopping centers, cars and many
more. Listening to music while shopping in mall may increase our mood so we
will shop with happy feeling and it seems that we want to buy more and more.
That is a good strategy by the owner of the shop to increase their income.
Driving can be so boring, unless if we play some music. It can break the
silence and prevent us from daydreaming or even being sleepy which are
dangerous for the driver. For me, listening to the music brings some good
effects to help me live my daily life, some of which are; it brings a good
mood, increases our concentration and increases our vocabulary in a certain
language.
First, listening to the music brings a good
mood for its listener. We may not feel happy all the time because there are a
lot of things that happen in our lives. Music can help us through that time.
Listening to the music, especially up-beat music will change our bad mood into
a good one. For instance when I got a bad score on the test and I instantly
felt so devastated about it. To overcome that feeling, I chose to listen to a
song entitled Happy by Pharrell Williams. This song has an up-beat tempo and a
cheerful rhythm so that it made me feel happy, motivated and smile again after
listening to it. This kind of music plays a good role to build up our happy
feeling after feeling down for some moment.
Second, listening to the music increases our
creativity. One example is when I had to finish my paper and it needed to be
collected on the next day. I was so tired and that made me unable to think
clearly in order to find inspiration for my paper. I felt like I was stuck on
somewhere and did not know what to do next. Then I decided to turn on my MP3
Player and played I Don’t Wanna Miss a Thing by Aerosmith. It is a slow tempo
song that has a relaxing effect for the listeners. When listening to it, I
imagined about many random things; and after listening to it, I felt that the
empty space on my brain was suddenly filled up with a lot of ideas and
inspiration for my paper. I was able to combine those ideas and finished my
paper. In other words, it will be easier for us to find inspiration and be more
creative by listening to the music.
Last but not least, listening to the music,
especially foreign music is so helpful for our learning process in a certain
language. If we already learned or just started to learn a certain language,
listening music is one of a solution to make it easier. For instance, as an
English Language and Literature student, listening to western music will be so
helpful for my learning process, some of which are listening, reading, speaking
and writing. I will take an example from my case about my fondness towards
Avenged Sevenfold, an American rock band, songs. When the first time I listen
to their songs, I will not look at the lyrics in order to sharpen my listening
comprehension. When it is already clear, I will move to the lyrics and find new
vocabulary, such as alter, astray, endeavor and still a lot more. I will try to
find the meaning and use them on my daily conversation. It means that I also
train my reading alongside with my speaking skill. Furthermore, I will also try
to make use of those new vocabularies in my writing tasks. In other words, we
can really develop our skill in a certain language that we learned from
listening to music.
There are a lot of good effects come from
music, but the main three are; it brings a good mood, increase our
concentration and creativity, and increases our vocabulary in a certain
language. I am certain that we will feel so helpful in our daily life by
listening to the music, so do listen to the music because there are many
benefits that come from it.
