It makes perfect sense to me to have music playing in the background. Different music depending on my mood or what I'm trying to accomplish. Classical music is great for reading or when I need to concentrate on a specific task for a long period of time, but if you put on some nice quiet classical music when I'm bored anyway, and nothing will get done. House work goes quicker and is more pleasant when I have something "rowdy" playing in the background, keeping me pumped up and motivated.
I'm a huge advocate for using music to your advantage and knowing the basics about music even if you're not a musician. Why? Because I'm a logical thinker, and music is very logical amd mathematical. While I don't necessarilly believe that certain music will make me smarter or perform better in certain subject, I do believe that understanding music and being willing to listen to different kinds of music and pick out different aspects of the music makes me a more analytical person, yet more creative at the same time.
And if you want further reason to own lots of music and keep it playing in the background, or to turn your radio on, just think about the last time you watched a movie. Now imagine what that movie would have been like without the musical underscore. My favorite example...Jaws without the Jaws music everyone knows so well right before the shark pops out of the water. Or how about James Bond or Mission: Impossible without the spy music. It just wouldn't be the same. My background music is just my own personal soundtrack.Private Reply to Jennifer Lavender (new win) |
