Boost Your Mood

Music has been proven to boost moods for quite some time now. And everyone knows the happier you are, the healthier you are! Whether you’re playing or listening, music is a wonderful tool to help boost happiness and diminish stress.

The key to music making you happier is very simple: do what makes you happy. Does simply sitting back and enjoying an album or a few music videos boost your mood? Then do that. Does playing a musical instrument and learning the technique help to put a smile on your face? Then learn! It’s a simple concept -- you have to do what makes you happy.

If you aren't completely satisfied in what you are doing, it will feel like a chore and you’ll no longer look forward to it. This will lead to stress, and stress can lead to a lot of negative feelings.

If you’re playing an instrument and feel like it’s forced, try something new! Whether it’s a new technique on your current instrument or a new instrument altogether, trying something new will make everything feel like a brand new adventure and help boost your happiness level and lower the stress.

At Harris Academy of the Arts, a wide variety of music lessons and classes are available. They are taught by university trained instructors, and students leave with a smile on their face daily.

Doing what makes you happy is one of the bigger goals you should have for yourself further down the road. At Harris, we’re here to help enhance one of those mood-boosters!

It is important to always remember: be happy, stay healthy. If what you’re doing now feels like it’s weighing you down, maybe it’s time for a fresh start. Find something new to spice up your current instrument of choice, or pick a new one and give it a shot. Even if it’s just for fun and you later return to your first instrument! Just anything to remind you why you’re doing this in the first place...

Because it makes you happy.
