I am a student at a university and major in Advanced Musical Research. Our College of Arts and Music have tied up with the Colelge of Medical Science and I am studying the medicinal properties and healing wonders of music. Music is an integral part of our life, a prime component that is inherent to the world that we live in. Birds sing songs as the wind and streams whispers ancient melodies since time immemorial and we cannot deny the relaxing properties and calming effect of the sounds generated by nature. A life without music is simply drab and and void of color and would be undoubtedly unbearable for us.

Classical music had also been tested and proven to be beneficial for the brain and artistic development of babies and young kids. My sister's baby was usually cranky in the mornings but when I started playing classical pieces from Bach, Beethoven and Mozart, she was more relaxed, adaptive and interested in the environment around her. It facilitates creativity and improves the mental faculty of young children and I convinced my sister to always play classical music around her kids to help them grow smart, creative and logical.

Now when I am not writing essays, research transcriptions and medical journals for school, I volunteer down at our local hospital specifically in the pedia ward. I bring my radio with me and a couple of choice CDs of classical music gems and I play them softly for the young patients. I hope to prove someday that music can be very helpful in the recuperation of patients from their illness and that it will help them relax and take their mind off their worries and pain, on the road to total recovery.
