Music is not just a medium of entertainment. It is used in several cases for multiple purposes. Though some people limit the use of music within the boundaries of entertainment but it has a huge diversity of uses. Music has been one of the easiest ways of advertisements. A religion and culture can never be separated from music. Doctors have started using music therapy for curing the patients. Yoga, meditations are popular among them. Thus, music has been taken into various purposes in our life. So it cannot be limited just within the rationale of relaxation.
Music has always been a part of culture in many parts of the world. Talking about the Hindu religion, music is taken as a necessity in cultural activities as well as in religious purposes. The Bhajans sung by people in temples easily attracts one's mind. It gives a sort of relaxation but in reality the song expresses the devotion of the people towards god. They invoke moods through their content, musical construction and the atmosphere they create. Nepalese people celebrate Tihar as their second biggest festival. The festival is specially known for musical beats of 'Deusi' and 'Bhailo'. People of all age sing the song, dance on the music beat and celebrate the festival. This shows the value of music in modern cultural world.
A popular use of music in these days is Music therapy. It is the use of music as an addition to relaxation therapy, or in psychotherapy to elicit expressions of suppressed emotions by prompting patients to dance, shout, laugh, or cry in response. Music therapists are most frequently called upon to help the mentally or physically disabled. For instance, patients suffering from speech difficulties or autism may be enabled to express themselves more effectively by making musical sounds, and music can help people with physical disabilities to develop better motor control.
Another basic attribute of music is to support an advertisements structure and continuity. Music is used to mediate between disjoint images. Also it can emphasize dramatic moments within the advertisement. For instance, TV commercial music structures the told narrative, can tell a narrative itself or function as anchor which completes the overall meaning. It can create the antagonist and the protagonist within this narrative by giving them typical musical figures, harmonies or melodies. These days popular Nepali pop song JHILKE, sung by Sugam Pokharel, is used to advertise Samsung company products. Interesting news is that agencies have found the increase in the rate of goods sale after the use of the song in the advertisement.
Moreover, music has become vital in natural health treatments such as yoga and meditation. We can see from ancient paintings at the yoga ashrams where Musical Instruments were in use and evidently they were used also as training supporting instruments. Vedic chants, chanting mantras, puranas - all create a flow of melody which induces concentration in the listening mind. At the same time it always contains a deep meaning, a powerful universal energy which we can connect to.
An interesting use of music is seen when it is used for protest and revolution. From the ancient days music has been used as a medium of protest against the cruelty. "American Taxation" written by Peter St. John and sung to the tune of "The British Grenadiers" was one such song which protested against "the cruel lords of Britain" who were striving after their rights to take away, and rob them of their charter, in North America. Also Hutchinson family singers are popular name in music industry for the use of abolition. Their music composition with heart touching words often touched relevant issues such as abolition, temperance, politics, war and woman's suffrage. Thus, music is a useful medium for protest and revolution.
Music has its use in broad diversity. Be it used for religious purposes, advertisements, awareness campaigns or protests, from the past to the imminent future music will be an inseparable part of human life .It is one of the most entertaining mediums for the world. However it cannot be ever limited for just relaxation work only.
