Music has always played a significant role in my life, starting from my earliest memories of classical music resonating through our home. My father possessed a collection of 78s and an electric player that required frequent needle changes. I vividly recall watching him diligently replace the needle every eight plays, a task he would never allow anyone else to handle.
As children, my siblings and I would often perform singing recitals, especially during Christmas time. I am grateful for the musical exposure our parents provided us, although my father displayed a single-mindedness when my brother Kenneth brought home a recording of the new rock and roll sensation, Buddy Holly, in the late 1950s. Father seemed to think it was inappropriate music and believed that the record couldn’t possibly match the caliber of his beloved Beethoven or Mozart recordings.
He would engage in ongoing discussions with Kenneth about playing those records on his radiogram. As for my desire to play Beatles and Rolling Stones records a few years later, there was no comment to be had!

Everyone knows from personal experience that music is soothing. Whether it’s a piece by Mozart to unwind after a long day at work, Abba’s “We Are the Champions” playing in the kitchen while cooking a challenging meal that requires confidence, or anything by Men at Work to boost energy and humor during boring test preparation, music has the power to affect our mood and emotions.
Music not only has an emotional impact but also has physiological effects that contribute to relaxation. Studies have shown that music can reduce cortisol levels, the hormone responsible for stress. While the healing effects of music on the soul have been observed in the past, modern technology allows us to scientifically confirm these effects and demonstrate their physiological nature.
Relaxation is just one of the visible impacts of music. The fact that music reduces stress levels also has a positive effect on the immune system. Research has shown that levels of the antibody immunoglobulin A, which plays a crucial role in immune defense, increase in individuals who listen to music.
It’s worth mentioning that researchers from the Max Planck Institute in Leipzig were able to induce these changes in volunteers’ bodies by … ...Read the rest.

Musical theater tells stories and conveys emotions through integrated elements of spoken dialogue, dance, and song. These three channels form a cohesive whole. Musicals that originated on Broadway and West End stages were rarely created specifically for film, and filmed musicals didn’t always achieve the same level of recognition.
Rock musicals and rock operas are often mistakenly used interchangeably, although composers may be drawn to both genres. In musicals, spoken dialogue takes precedence, followed by dance, and then music. Singing is the primary mode of expression … ...Read the rest.
