It’s Never Too Late
At age twenty I was told by my physically fit boyfriend’s Dad that once you hit 26 that’s it – your body has hit its peak in physical fitness. I believed that for too many years.
As a result I used that doom and gloom statement as an excuse not to exercise every day.
Now I know better. Because I’m in better shape this very moment than I was in my mid-twenties. Most importantly I’m not listening to anyone who tells me I can’t do something for any reason.
This applies to any endeavor. A few years ago I was shocked to read this.
"By approximately age 11, the neuron circuits that permit all kinds of perceptual and sensory discrimination, such as identifying pitch and rhythm, become closed off. Not using them, dooms the child to be forever tone deaf and offbeat."
This is totally untrue. Unless you believe it.
If it were true, as the author claims, how can he account for the fact that all of these activities DO occur after that age, including aging adults who have Never had musical training.
If you don’t believe me, let me give you a great example - the New Horizons Band started by Dr. Roy Ernst, Chairman of he Department of Music Education at the renowned Eastman School of Music. This brilliant man has formed a band comprised largely of adults between the ages of about 60 to 85, the majority of whom Never had previous music lessons.
All they needed was instruction and encouragement. The eagerness of its members to learn allowed the New Horizons Band to achieve excellence in performance. Not to mention the great pleasure and happiness shared amongst themselves and their audiences.
You see, if the "neuron circuits" were indeed "closed down" in the pre-teen years, how would this be possible. To put it in a nutshell, the circuits are Not closed down – they’re operating just fine.
Listening to music also opens up these circuits. You don’t even have to pay attention to the music. You will STILL get results. In fact music even affects your hormones.
Though this may be news to you, professional athletes and high achievers take the time to get into that blissful state. Their life requires that they have energy. They must be calm in order to focus. And they’re really tuned into the things that help them get into that state.
Most certainly they will tell you to exercise, sleep well and relax – preferably with music. It’s easy to prove it to your self. Just go and experience TheSecret Power of Words and Music CDs.
