The Importance of Music in Psychological and Sociocultural Development of Person
Music; is one of the ways to communicate with the emotional world of the person and exists in almost every aspect of life -from birth to death-. It plays an important part in the psychological and social development of the person. Every living creature builds its existence on its own nature and behavioral pattern that has filtered from this nature. Language, behavior, perception, sensation, comprehension and expression all belong to nature. Traditional musical art that includes systematic combination of certain rhythmic scales of the voice, correspond to the art that takes its source from nature. This style of music perhaps is the most important and effective way, in the psychological and social development of the person, and in the way he/she communicates with society. In this relation, music is not only a hobby or an occupation field. For a person, it also a way of understanding the essence of one’s own nature. Thus one can say that music is life itself. The power of traditional music also shows its effects on the person allowing him/her to build a peaceful inner world: to listen to his/her emotions; and to be acquainted with these emotions.
