Music has the power to influence your brain and body, both positively and negatively. It can alter your mood, motivate you to engage in various activities, and aid in recovery from injuries. Numerous studies have shown that music can have diverse effects on the brain. Although music has many positive impacts on the brain, some negative consequences are also worth considering. Music can relieve stress and fatigue, making you feel better and stronger, and even has calming and soothing effects on the mind. In summary, music has more positive than negative effects on the brain. Let’s explore some of these positive and negative effects in more detail.
Improves brain function and enhances concentration
Studies have shown that music can increase concentration levels in the human brain, making it sharper and more focused. It can also improve memory in patients suffering from dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. The silence between musical notes stimulates brain cells, enhancing memory. Classical music, in particular, can enhance the ability to recall information and retain it for longer periods. Strong beats in music resonate in sync with brain waves, significantly improving mental alertness. Learning music also increases self-discipline in the brain.

If that’s not enough to convince you, keep in mind that some artists report six-figure annual incomes from selling their art at street festivals across the US.

These delicate cloth squares are truly stunning, and it’s hard to imagine using them for their original purpose. Here are a few ways to showcase these lovely handkerchiefs:
Handkerchiefs Under Glass
Many of my grandmother’s handkerchiefs measure approximately 11″ x 11″. A 12″ x 12″ frame works well for displaying them. I found a lightweight, thin black plastic frame with a clear plastic front at my local JoAnn store. These frames have a bendable plastic front that can be removed to insert the handkerchief and then reinserted. The black background highlights the lace handkerchiefs beautifully.
