Re: Gettysburg - ,OOPs & (Music Therapy for Pain, Healing, Learning )

Hi Vicki,Just a sidenote about things I've said previously on music therapy. Karaoke allowed me to retain my speech when it would have gone by the way of my reading and writing capabilities. It also improved my memory and hearing. I learned to listen to the nuances of pitch, and train my voice to match and remember when I needed to change (something I could never do before).

There is a lot of scientific evidence on the powers of music to heal and to learn. Music also helps lessen pain in the operating room (scientific evidence proves this fact). Actually, not just in the operating room. As I have said, I sleep better and have less muscular pain after our Karaoke nights. The breathing required to sing and the music flowing through your body just eases the tension.If you are interested, pick up the book "The Mozart Effect" and the 3-CD series "The Mozart Effect for Children" to see how music helps children learn - especially in math and creative areas. There are other books that show how music helps deal with pain in the operating room and at night for pain. I used to leave New Age or classical music playing at night on a 5-disc CD player to enhance sleep. Really works. Good for insomniacs and people who can't sleep because of pain.

Love ya,Rose

BTW, I didn't mean that "can't believe you have Lyme", the way it sounded. I know for one, I'm sick and tired of hearing, gee you look so good (meaning, you must not be sick). It wasn't meant that way, I have a difficult time, unlike you, articulating what I mean. It was meant as a compliment. I'm glad you can still find the right words. I know your very ill, please forgive the way I put it. I put my foot in my mouth a lot, without even realizing it, but after I sent off my message to you, I realized how it must sound. I just really wanted to congratulate you on your wonderful message and its meaning. You give me hope, if you are so sick yet can think so clearly, then maybe there is hope for me to get my brain working again. Maybe its like Rose said, the music is therapy for your brain. Hope I explained this okay. Vicki, MD

I forget do you have Lyme? I think you do, but find it hard to believe you can and still write so eloquently. I really admire how you write, and I bit envious. Thanks for saying it so well again! Vicki, Md

Thanks Rose,

We love music too. My son plays the saxophone and loves just about all music. My husband plays guitar and piano. I'm totally useless, can't sing or play an instrument. But I love to listen. The stereo or a CD is always on in our house or cars. Wish I could sing. My brother won a full scholarship to SMU on his voice alone. He is now an aspiring actor, and really stating to make it. He stole all the talent from my family - 6 siblings. But I do sing when I'm alone or in the car with my son - he thinks I can sing well - such a sweetie. My talented brother used to cry as an infant when I would sing to him, and when someone else sang he didn't cry. I'm very happy you find therapy with your Karaoke and music, I do believe in its healing powers. Whenever I feel stressed out I have certain songs I listen too. And when I clean the house (if I clean it these days) I must have music on that I can sing a long with. Thanks

Hugs & prayers

Vicki

Hey, Vicki! You're the PERFECT Karaoke candidate! The voice is just another muscle. You'd be surprised how many people started out "not so good" and are now some of our best singers! The saying goes "when a door is closed, a window opens." That's what happened in my case. I gave myself a Mother's Day present. I always wanted to hear Amy Rose sing "The Rose." (It's my name and my motto for survival.) She was such a perfectionist -- had to "practice" and would never sing it for me. I tricked her by asking her to sing it as a duet with me one Mother's Day. I knew she wouldn't turn me down. Now, I sing over 800 songs (some better than others), but I do sing them and love it. I'm sure you're a much better singer than you will admit.Love Ya,Rose

Rose,

Thanks for the kind words, but you don't understand! People beg me not to sing! I'm awful!!!!!! In fourth grade I tried out for chorus and the teacher called my mother in for a conference because she didn't have the heart to tell me to my face, but she told my mother to never let this child sing! She didn't actually say I was tone deaf, but she implied it. The only time I sing in front of other people is in church with lots of other loud voices to drown me out. Vicki, Md
