Classical Music for Stress Relief

September 23, 2015 By Elizabeth Leave a Comment

You’ve heard of it before and we’ve even written something  about it just recently – music has health related benefits. It’s true, listening to music can give you a sense of well-being, making you happier. It can also boost memory and can stimulate neurons, which, ideally can make you smarter. Music can also help you concentrate and is actually used in conjunction with some meditation-type of exercises too. Here we tell you the benefits of a specific genre, specifically classical music for stress relief.

What’s so unique about classical music anyway? The composers of classical music are all known to have a common aim as they carefully thought of their pieces – to express their emotions using mostly instruments playing. You will only hear the sound of the piano, violins, trumpets, and a little bit of percussion too. With classical music, there are no words to interfere with what the music is saying to your brain.

When you are stressed, listening to classical music can be as source of stress relief. Categorized under “soft” type of music, listening exclusively to this genre after a long tiring day can help your entire body slow down and relax. On the other hand, upbeat tempos can increase your mood, bringing clarity to your mind in the midst of stress.

How does classical music reduce stress exactly? The human brain functions in a variety of naturally occurring wavelengths. This is what classical music aims to sync with its rhythm. While listening to classical music, pretty soon that soothing beat will be going through your head. Your heart rate and blood pressure will then decrease, and your mood improves too.

Classical music has also shown to relax the mind to an extent that it brings slumber to its listeners. People who are stressed often have trouble falling asleep and staying asleep. We suggest listening to soft classical tunes before, and if possible, during bedtime.

Too cool for classical music? It actually works for the young and old alike. In addition, studies have shown that children and adolescents who listen to more classical music not only manage stress well but they are also smarter and can concentrate more.

Music is just one tool that you can use to manage stress in your life. Classical music is a good choice when you want to unwind and be carried off to another place. So what are you waiting for? Fill up your mp3 player with Beethoven and Mozart!
