Music is an important part of life. Around the world, music is
used to promote peace, education, and health. Albert Cyprys is a musician who
believes in the power of music to change lives. Music gives us the opportunity
to see the world from different perspectives and experience different worlds
through different types of music.
Many songs have lyrics about peace. One of the most well known
is John Lennon’s song, “Give Peace a Chance.” The lyrics in the song promote
acceptance of other cultures and not judging people by where they live, what
they look like, or what god they believe in. Music has the power to bring
people of all walks of life together for one purpose.
Albert Cyprys knows
that music also promotes education. There is a direct correlation between math
skills and music. It has been shown in many studies that when young children
listen to music it increases their vocabulary and IQ as they grow.
Unfortunately, many schools have discontinued their music programs due to a
lack of funding. Music is such an important part of life and, sadly, many
children are missing out on the opportunity to learn more about music.
Music also encourages people to be healthy. Fitness classes around
the world use music to promote movement. You will see many people jogging or
running along the road with their headphones on listening to music. It is
encouraging and uplifting and keeps you motivated to keep going.
