Ａ visitor from abroad had the following experience:
"Ｗithin two weeks of my arrival in Ｊａｐａｎ.
Ｉ was carried into a large hospital for emergency treatment of a very painful stomachache.
Ｍｙ troubles were even worse because Ｉ could neither speak nor understand Ｊａｐａｎｅｓｅ.
Ｉｔ is hard to say which was greater-my stomach pain or my fears and anxiety.
Ｉｎ the midst of all the confusion, however, Ｉ heard the soft sounds of classical music coming from the hospital's loudspeakers.
Ａｓ Ｉ began to listen to the familiar melody, Ｉ started to relax and to believe that everything would be all right.
Ａｎｄ, in fact, it was thanks to the power of music!"
Ａｓ this visitor discovered, music can have a powerful healing effect on us.
Ｍｕｓｉｃ therapy is especially useful with the elderly.
Ｆｏｒ example, an old people's home in Ｔｏｒｏｎｔo, Ｃａｎａｄａ, recently installed a karaoke machine for its patients' use.
Ｔｈｅ nurses were amazed at the changes in the elderly people.
Ａ few patients who had withdrawn themselves and refused to communicate began to sing and talk to each other.
Ｆｏｒ them, karaoke singing became the first step to a happier life.
Ａｃｃｏｒｄｉｎｇ to certain theories, music fulfills three functions in improving the quality of life.
Ｆｉｒｓｔ, since humans live in thei past, present, and future at the same time, music helps them to remember the past.
Ｓｅｃｏｎｄ, music, especially group singing, helps people to feel connected to others.
Ｔｈａｔ is, they feel less isolated and lonely.
Ｔｈｉｒd, music helps people get over an unpleasant experience.
Ｔｈａｔ is, music allows a brief escape from hard reality.
