No matter where in the world, when people hear music, they instinctively start to keep rhythm and
dance or move in synchronization with the music.
Darwin The Descent of Man, and Selection in Relation to Sex) mentions this in his book
as follows:
"The most mysterious of human abilities is music." /> has been done. For example, in one study, it was observed that two people who kept rhythm synchronously with each other had a more positive opinion about each other than two people who kept rhythm asynchronously. At the end of a music
education, compared to those who did not receive music education, they scored higher in the social behavior scale results in their sympathy skills and
social behavior than the control group. Another study was conducted on 4-year-old
children. The children were divided into two groups; while the first group played a game together, the second group moved and sang together in rhythm, and showed a rhythmic order such as walking together and running together. According to the results, the children in the second group who showed rhythmic harmony scored higher than the first group in problem solving
skills and cooperation skills.
Synchronization is part of our tendency to belong to the group. If you pay attention, babies are more sensitive and selective to sounds that sound rhythmically. It can be said that this preference puts babies in a positive emotional state with any object that moves in sync with their movements.
Babies are introduced to music while in the womb and begin to react to music. In a study he conducted in 1991, Hepper observed activation in the heartbeats and movements of fetuses who heard melodies while in the womb. It gives the message that babies who are listened to music while in the womb react to the same melody after birth and even sing that song when they start talking, supporting the child's language development and cognitive process. Research shows musicians' verbal memories n shows that it is higher than that of people who have not received any musical education
. In addition, musicians can remember sentences more and repeat them more accurately than others in both loud and silent environments. Studies conducted in this context show that music education is effective on reading skills, language development and social development. shows. However, it is seen that this is supported only by rhythmic harmony, that is,
synchronization, even without being literate.
The first communication initiated between the mother and the baby begins with the sounds that the baby in the womb hears from the mother's organs
. This communication is rhythmic communication. Therefore, in cases of stress and anxiety, the rapidly beating mother's heart may give negative messages to the child about the synchronization of the body. There are also studies known as the Mozart effect
whose effect on intelligence is still unproven. However, during the period you are pregnant, you can listen to the Rehavi maqams that will make you feel good, as mentioned by Ibn Sina in his book Al Qanun Fit Medicine during the Ottoman period, and you can feel spiritually calm.
