Music is a part of life

When do humans experience music for the first time?  

The first human organ that becomes fully developed is the inner ear – a four and a half month old embryo already has a completely developed (repetition) acoustic organ. It seems highly important for humans to be able to hear.   

What does this little being want to hear in the mother’s womb?

The rhythm of the heartbeat. The melody of the maternal voice. 
As soon as the baby is born the mother sings him or her to sleep, sings songs to cheer up or to console the child. Immediately he or she reacts to these sounds and attempts to imitate them. Children are born with rhythm and a wonderful musical instrument – the voice.   

Every person possesses a natural connection to music. The term person has its root in the Latin verb personare – which is compounded of the prefix per (= through) and sonare (= to sound) – to sound through. Music runs through us.

 

Music touches our soul. Music inspires love, compassion, nostalgia, makes us dance and children play. 
As has been proven, music makes us smarter, boosts the growth of plants and lulls children to sleep. At the same time, it infuriates neighbors and pumps the adrenalin through the veins.

But that’s not all: the skies, the earth and the forces of nature create their own sounds. Sounds and vibrations surround us every moment of our lives – from the primal scream to a last sigh.   Every atom in our bodies vibrate, every organ has its proper vibration frequency. Vibrations transmit information: radio and television is rendered from this phenomenon.   Vibrations transfer energy. 

Therefore, one function of the human ear is to transfer the vibrational energy to the cortex. The brain receives up to 90 % of its energy from the ear. A majority of this is delivered in high frequencies. In a similar way frequencies, which are produced through music provide energy for the body. Nowadays even mainstream medical practitioners acknowledge the healing powers of music, and musical therapy is on the advance. 

Music transmits life – it is a life source.

Long-term studies at various universities have concluded that children who practice music are generally more creative, more self-confident and have a higher social competence.

The results of these studies have been increasingly published in the media. It would make sense to assume that as a consequence parents would increasingly sensitize their children to music. If this was true the number of children and adolescents who play a musical instrument would be considerably higher, from which our society would clearly benefit. Unfortunately, this is not the case.
