When I hear classical music it changes my mood, I can think of Ideas, and I feel peaceful. For me classical music have slow tempos, the music pattern is very simple and it is usually instrumental. Most of the teenagers judge classical music as "Old school", "boring", "pampatay", and "korny". But what do classical music really mean.
Classical music is art music produced or rooted in the traditions of Western music. It encompasses a broad period from roughly the 11th century to the present day. The central norms of this tradition became codified between 1550 and 1900, which is known as the common practice period.
I've read an article entitled "Psychology of Classical Music" by Jennifer Coplay of classicalmusiccity.com that tells Classical music has been found to reduce tension and enhance specific types of intelligence such as verbal ability reasoning, though it does not increase general intelligence. Also Mozart’s music has also shown some benefits for those who suffer from epilepsy. and listening to classical music decreases tension, even in those for whom classical music is not their preferred genre. Listening to classical music does not necessarily affect other feelings. The ability of music to influence feelings appears to vary depending on musical preference. She also stated that "A number of research studies have supported the fact that classical music can have a positive effect on linguistic abilities. One study found that those who listened to Vivaldi while exercising had increased scores on verbal fluency tests after their workouts compared to those who exercised without music.
In another study in Hong Kong of 90 boys between the ages of 6 and 15, those who learned to play music with their school’s string orchestra program scored higher on tests of verbal memory than a control group that did not receive musical training. The boys in the music group were also able to learn more new words than those in the control group."
I really don't like classical music because when I listen to it I felt like the clock is moving slow and it made me think to things that confuses me, it gives me a headache. I thinks there is a low percentage of teenagers now who loves to listen to classical music because we are living in a time where everything is digital and fast. But many times I heard a classical music while doing something, it is the background music of I am doing.
According to another article I read entitled "The psychology of background music" by Brian Walker of musicworksforyou.com that tells the pupils in West Park School in derby that where in detention were reduced by 60% because of playing classical music in the background and in London Underground (LU) now plays classical music through the speakers in certain Victoria Line stations. LU followed Metro operator Nexus after it became the first UK transport system to introduce the use of classical background music in an attempt to curb criminal activity in 1997.The police figures show that criminal damage was reduced by 20% on the station. He also stated that "Several studies now link the influence of music on brain activity to behavioural response. A new article recently published in NeuroImage investigates the influence of music on brain activity by trying to make sense of how we listen to music. It claims that the act of listening is actually an act of neural prediction.
In the words of the University of London scientists, ‘the ability to anticipate forthcoming events has clear evolutionary advantages, and predictive successes or failures often entail significant psychological and physiological consequences. In music perception, the confirmation and violation of expectations are critical to the communication of emotion and aesthetic effects of a composition’. "
Although classical music is boring it also gives a good ambiance and gives a good mood. But everything depends on the person who is listening the music. For me I dont find the classical music as a good music because it only bores me. I am a rock lover so i usually hate slow music. But most of the people prefer slow and classic because classical music touches most of everyone's taste so most of the people were affected when classical music is played.
