\"Senior<\/a>My girls have been involved in music since they were little.\u00a0 And while I am certainly not a musician myself, I have really come to appreciate all the great things that music does for young people!\u00a0 And I really love it when seniors show up with their instruments – I see personalities emerge when they start talking about their love of music, whether its playing in the band (all types of bands), singing in a choir or just playing solely for themselves.<\/p>\n

Why is music so good for us?<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n
      \n
    1. \u00a0Music fosters creativity!<\/strong>\u00a0 Of course there’s musical creativity, but many of the seniors that come in for portraits with their instruments bring their own ideas for those portraits, too!\u00a0 Its so fun to collaborate with a musician – two artists bringing a vision together.<\/li>\n
    2. Playing an instrument relieves stress<\/strong>.\u00a0 I’m sure all of us non-musicians have felt this…we turn on some great music and sigh in relief.\u00a0 But studies have actually shown that playing an instrument lowers heart rate, blood pressure and even the stress hormone cortisol.\u00a0 So many teens have told me they just love to play on their own in their rooms.\u00a0 I’m sure it feels great to disappear into music in the midst of all demands on students today.<\/li>\n
    3. Playing music enhances your social life<\/strong>.\u00a0 Working together in a band, collaborative song writing, harmonizing in choir are forms of “team work” and build our social circles.\u00a0 And besides, we have all heard the saying that music is the universal language.\u00a0 Every senior I talk to about music says they have loved their years in band or choir and have made some of their best friends there.\u00a0 Many students are not just musicians….they are also athletes, aspiring scientists, mechanics, and budding entrepreneurs…proving music brings all types of people together.<\/li>\n
    4. Music makes your smarter and improves memory<\/strong>.\u00a0 There are all kinds of studies about how learning to read music and play an instrument have a direct impact on a students academic achievements in math and science.\u00a0 Music is actually linked with higher IQs and the physical development of certain parts of the brain.<\/li>\n
    5. Music is Fun<\/strong> – whether we are singing along in the car and actually making our own music, it brings a sense of joy into our lives.\u00a0 I see it in seniors when they pick up their instruments.\u00a0 We don’t just fake the playing of the instruments in our photos shoots, either.\u00a0 They actually play, and when doing so, I see the most genuine smiles that come from inside!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      6.\u00a0 There is no time limit on music!<\/strong>\u00a0 You can play, learn, and enjoy music your entire life long!\u00a0 I know many of these seniors have gone on to play in college bands, pep bands, choirs, garage bands, etc.\u00a0 Many are studying music in college.\u00a0 And some are even making their living with music!<\/p>\n
