Blog 8 Revise CATW Practice 1

The author Elizabeth Scott talks about how research has shown that music has profound effect on your body and mind. She speaks about the benefits in using music to get better in your health issues. The author gives examples on how music can be used as therapy to ease tension from your body or mind by the beats from music that stimulates brainwaves to consternation   and alert thinking. When listing to slower beat it calms your brainwaves to move slower to have a relaxation throughout your body.
When the author speaks about faster beats brings sharper consternation and more thinking, I find that it is most significant to me because I feel when I listing to faster music it keeps me going throughout my day. It makes me feel more energized and more willing to keep going .Another example the author gives is breathing and heart rates, that music can slow down into relaxation response or other things that won’t cause stress or any other effects. She states that depending on the beat of the music your mind becomes more positive, while your depression and anxiety is kept under control.
In my opinion, I think music is a good tool for health, not only that music is growing in society but also for therapy. It makes people more motivated to pay attention and control    their angry that they have within them. Music affects the mind in a powerful ways. When I hear a certain song I jump up and down until I get tired. I work at a library that promotes ads and free fun activities, I remember we had a zumba class , I remember watching how much fun people would have by dancing with a certain beat played by the instructor , and they thought by dancing (doing certain moves) would help them with their weight and it did ! . People gave good feedback on how much the class has helped them just by dancing / moving a certain way when the music is playing. 
This passage I learned how music affects your body and mind and how it helps you relax. I think the benefits that music brings are good for people whom are in therapy or have issues In my opinion, I think music is a good tool for health, not only that music is growing in society but also for therapy. It makes people more motivated to pay attention and control    their angry that they have within them. Music affects the mind in a powerful ways.

  1. Venita,
    except for the third paragraph a lot of this essay rehashes the ideas from the article rather than developing a thesis of your own. In fact you have not identified any particular idea as significant to base your essay on the agreement or disagreement with it.
