I've always perceived music as one of the greatests human creations. Its ability to change the way we feel is truly fascinating. Regardless of our preferences (jazz, rock, metal, funk, classical music, folk, R&B, ethereal, ambient, electronic, trap, world music, etc. etc.), we can agree that without music our life would look much different. For me, it would become almost colorless.
I perceive music as a different sort of language. It tolds us a story not using words but well thought through compositions of sounds. What is more, it presents differents points of view : each instrumentalist mark the music with his personnality and emotions (take a look at some great pianists, each one interprets famous pieces differently). Listening to it is therefore parallel to hearing a monologue through which its creator or simply performer shares with us a part of himself.
Muisc reduces our stress, it's healthy for our heart. Duh, sometimes it even makes us feel almighty and epic (or is it just me while listening to Hans Zimmer's scores). However, the most important thing in the context of student life is probably the Mozart effect. According to this theory listening to Mozart while learning increases students' productivity. In other words, it makes us smarter. Temporarily, but smarter. Let's try it out during the next exam session!
