It is worth mentioning that middle-aged and elderly people should choose elegant, melodious, brisk and soothing music when enjoying music. Intense and fast-paced concerts have a strong stimulating effect on people's nervous system, leading to emotional anxiety, high blood pressure, dizziness and headache, which is very unfavorable to the health of middle-aged and elderly people.
From the perspective of modern medicine, wonderful music can be introduced into human body through auditory organs, producing subtle, harmonious and synchronous vibrations. Soft, brisk and beautiful music is a benign stimulus, which can stimulate the central nervous system, thus regulating blood flow, promoting blood circulation and enhancing heart, liver and kidney functions. In addition, music can also increase the peristalsis of small intestine, the secretion of digestive glands and accelerate metabolism.
Music therapy has been used for the treatment of middle-aged and elderly people for a long time. Music therapy can delay the deterioration of their brain function and other physical functions. To some extent, this can restore the feelings of the elderly and alleviate the loneliness in life.
Music therapy is also commonly used in the evaluation of middle-aged and elderly people.
Through singing, action, instrumental music and other musical activities, we can evaluate the physical health, emotional state and motor function of coarse and fine muscles of middle-aged and elderly people.
However, there are still some misunderstandings in music therapy.
Some people think that it is impossible for middle-aged and elderly people to really improve their musical skills. In fact, this is completely unfounded.
Some middle-aged and elderly people have finally achieved a certain degree of success through long-term unremitting learning of music skills, which not only greatly strengthened their quality of life in their later years, but also improved their sense of survival value.
Others think that middle-aged and elderly people only like the music they used to be familiar with, or prefer soothing music. But according to research, many middle-aged and elderly people prefer new songs, and some middle-aged and elderly people also like fast-paced music very much. Therefore, in the process of music therapy, it is not necessary to use old songs familiar to middle-aged and elderly people, or slow-paced lyric songs. When choosing music therapy, we must decide the music materials to use according to our needs.
