How Music Helps My Physical Health
First I'll start by telling you a little something about myself...
I love music, I always have. If you looked at my music collection the only word to describe it would be eclectic. I have everything from pop, rock, jazz, to musical theatre. When I was younger, I used to sing along to the radio with my dad. My mum and dad were always surprised how quickly I picked up lyric even from a young age, singing along to the radio in the car. If me or my sister were ever ill my grandma used to bring us one of her old musicals to watch like Top Hat or Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. I loved all the over-the-top songs and dancing, pouring their hearts out to each other through the power of music. Then as I got older I started listening to the lyrics of songs on the radio and in musicals more, getting lost in the stories and emotions that the songs built up inside me. When I was 16, I started singing in a band that played at friends' parties. So music and singing were always a hobby for me but I never thought though that it would ever be something that would help me physically.
