MUSIC AND ITS IMPORTANCE

MUSIC AND ITS IMPORTANCE

Iam happy to drop my entry for the second phase of this engagement even though this is my first attempt. I want to appreciate the management of afritunes for their resilience and innovative in ensuring the sustainability of this platform. This effort worth huge commendation and this shows that we are growing. My singular prayers remains that God will continue to help us to be consistent.

Music has a pivotal role to play in the human life and even animals as well. It's commonly believed that music is life and life is music. Music flows through the stream of everyone. The significance of music or good music can't be overemphasized. Child right from birth is usher into the realm of music either directly or indirectly. I will share some practical experiences later. There are different kinds of music but the focal thing here is that good music does a lot and has great value that can't be debated easily.

There are different ways that one could easily get involved in music. I had the privilege to be brought up from a pastor's house where music is almost played everyday and everywhere. I could not really defined what music truly means but as time unveiled itself, I gradually became exposed to music hence understood it's relevance in the present society. There's no area of human endeavors that music can't be deployed however I would like to share some few thoughts about the significance of good music and the transformation it has caused over time.

some importance of music

• Music can easily induce sleep. This is one of the major role I have seen over time music does to individual. In time memorial, I used to see some parents carry their wards on their shoulder when they are crying and try to cuddle them by whispering some sound or music through their ears. I noticed right from when my wife was pregnant, there's a particular music I normally play that leads her to good sleep. I never knew that can be inherent in our baby right from the womb. As I watch my daughter grow, most at times when she's tired and want to sleep, I pick her up on my hands singing and swinging her before you know it hmmmm she starts sleeping. Therefore sleep can easily be induced through music and of course sleep is very important to human health.

• Music can bring healing. This may sound unbelievable but I have life experiences concerning this. I wouldn't want to share just for sharing sake. There was a man who was hospitalized in a general hospital. Immediately they started playing a song of worship from Don Moen which says "Iam the Lord, that healed thee..." The man received strength and dropped from the bed and started walking. He boldly told us that it was the song he heard that quickened him and revived him. Wow since that day, my perspective about music really changed. There are many other people that shared with me how music healed them. Some not just song but the sound they heard alone caused a change in their lives.

• Music is a tool to combat depression. Recently when I got home, I saw the condition of my parents hmmm I knew they were passing through some turbulence moment which must be properly managed. I told them never to sit quietly like that instead they should always try to play sound. In my house, I deliberately play music at night and sometimes till day breaks just to create a good atmosphere of worship and reduce the scope of my thoughts and imagination.

• Good music fosters creativity. I remain indebted to this precious community because they have really helped me to boost my creative ability. The weekly engagement on afritunes is something to talk about. It has improved me on both sides and even empowered me financially. That's the power of good music.

• Good music stimulates the mind towards positive and productive thought. I could remember my bosom friend that lives in Scotland now. Once he starts playing some instrumental sounds, he gains ascendency into deep realm of imagination. That's how he was able to navigate and break through certain walls of impossibility.

all pictures are my own.

Music has lots to offer and it's importance remains undebatable.
Thanks for visiting and reading through.
