What is music? Specialists explain that music isn*t only a combination of pleasant sounds. It is an art that reflects life.
All over the world people sing, play musical instruments and celebrate with music. It plays am important role in our lives. Experts think that because of the way our brains process music, learning to play an instrument or just listening to music can do a person a lot of good. Learning to play an instrument can help children to improve Maths, Science and language skills. The Canadian study of children’s IQ scores discovered that children who studied music had the best results. While reading music and playing notes a person uses several regions of the brain, stimulating our ability to learn school subjects. For example, reading notes improves reasoning skills, what are helpful in solving maths problems.
Music is also used for medical purposes, such as the treatment of illnesses which affect memory. The secret lies in the way the brain processes music. One area near the forehead connects music with memories kept in two other areas. That’s why an old song can remind you of something that happened years ago. For patients suffering from some diseases, listening to music can help unlock memories by strengthening musical pathways to memories.

«Earth Song» is the most wonderful song written
by Michael Jackson. This song tells about global problems,
it makes people cry and try to solve it. In this song Michael asks about environmental problems and lives of animals. Michael wanted to write «Earth Song» as a song with deep idea and simple melody. He wanted people all over the world, including people who don’t speak English, to understand it.
And what was the story of the song?
1st June, 1988. Michael stands in his hotel room alone. He feels loneliness and terrible despair for the world. Jackson was a very sensitive person. He felt responsibility for his glory. He said, “When you travel all over the world and see what I see, you just can’t ignore global problems.” He always gave money for charity. Helping children or singing on the stage, he felt himself strong and happy, but at home he was very sad. He always tried to understand the world. Stories about drought, forest fires, earthquakes, genocide and hunger make Michael cry. When he was standing in the hotel room, it was too much pain and despair. And then the idea had fallen from the sky: Earth Song, bitter weeping and ask for help. Accords were very simple, but the singer knew that it would be the greatest song in his creativity.
