Coramdeo Version, My Jesus (EDM Remix) Creating music firsthand has always been a joy and a fresh experience for me. Among them, arranging music has always infused me with new creativity. Collaborating with Coramdeo's singer, Jang Eisu, was an innovation in itself. Throughout the process of arranging, producing, mixing, and mastering the music myself, Eisu's voice perfectly complemented and completed the music. https://lnkd.in/e__es5TT

Christmas music - a mood booster or stress inducer? Depends on who's listening and whether you listen to the music or make it yourself. 🎵 Music is a powerful tool for influencing mood and emotions. Research shows that music stimulates the brain’s reward system, helping to regulate emotions and elevate mood. During the holidays, familiar melodies associated with joy and celebration evoke nostalgia and happiness. For those with positive holiday memories, these tunes can strengthen feelings of belonging and connection. Conversely, for those with more challenging holiday experiences, the same melodies may trigger sadness and stress. Studies have also shown that playing Christmas music too early can activate holiday-related pressure and lead to stressful situations. 🎵 A decidedly positive aspect of Christmas music is that it promotes social cohesion. Singing Christmas carols together, whether with friends or family, enhances a sense of community and creates shared experiences. Studies reveal that group singing increases levels of the feel-good hormone oxytocin and endorphins, improves mood, and enhances quality of life and overall well-being. Additionally, communal singing has psychosocial benefits, such as boosting resilience, fostering a sense of belonging and stronger social bonds. 🎵 I have experienced how Christmas music brings people together as a choir conductor for almost 30 years. Still the same songs, always the desire to sing them together again and again to feel that magical Christmas feeling. As a surprise, I found a video clip from 10 years ago on the Internet, where the Rae Chamber Choir, a choir that has developed into a strong community of friends, under my direction, performs one of the Estonians' most beloved Christmas carols, Rene Eespere's "Then When My Grandmother", in Jüri Church. Vocal soloist Reti Truupõld Recorder Marianne-Laura Saar Piano Siim Selis Neither the sound nor the video quality is the best, but nevertheless as a music therapist I believe that this performance, in its authenticity and sincerity, gives a sense of togetherness and of breathing in harmony in Christmas music. I hope you enjoy! https://lnkd.in/d2MDqXfB

It’s International Music Therapy Week! It’s a great time to educate and advocate for the healing power of music therapy. One of the things I get a lot is… “You’re a music therapist? That’s so cool to have a job to make people happy.” Well, that is not my job. Far from it. My job is to create music experiences to ‘help’ people work towards a goal or a need. Imagine if I walked into a hospital room in the oncology unit to work with someone who just got results from a biopsy and just found out that they have cancer. My job is certainly not to make them happy. I’m a firm believer that sometimes we need ‘melancholy’ music. Sometimes we just need to feel what we are feeling inside. We need to simply be in that space. We need to honor it, process it, figure it out. Music creates connection and presence, and that can be powerful when one is trying to work through it all out. And then we can start to move towards releasing it. In fact, most of the work I do in the hospital lives in this space. And such, the music is creating empathy and compassion on an aesthetic level. Here is something the represents that musical space. Something that can be, perhaps, the beginning of healing... #MusicTherapy #MusicHeals
