                Scientific research tells us 
                    that listening to a certain style of music enhances us, spirit, 
                    soul and body. 
                    
                    We call this “Preferred Music.”  | 
               
             
             
              Listening to music… 
             
              • Gives the will to live to tiny premature babies. 
              • Reduces pain and actually decreases the need for medication 
              in surgery patients. 
              • Affects our endorphin levels, creating a runner’s 
              high without the workout!  
              • Listening to this type of music slows down and equalizes 
              brain waves. 
              • Listening to “preferred music” shifts the brain 
              from beta waves toward alpha waves, enhancing alertness and giving 
              a sense of well-being. 
              • When a person listens to “preferred music” his/her 
              heart slows down to match the speed of the music...  
              • A slower heartbeat creates less physical tension and stress, 
              calms the mind and helps the body heal itself.  
              • The repeated musical rhythms in this style of music, stimulate 
              the release of endorphins and reduce blood levels of certain hormones 
              associated with stress. 
              • Listening to this style of preferred music thirty minutes 
              a day gives lift to your emotions equal to that of taking one valium. 
              • Listening to “preferred music” can drop levels 
              of cortisol up to 25% improving the immune response.  
              • Listening to “preferred music” for 15 minutes 
              daily could increase levels of IL-1 in the blood helping to protect 
              cells from AIDS, cancer and other diseases. 
              • Listening to “preferred music” can alter one’s 
              breathing patterns and state of consciousness, harmonizing right 
              and left sides of the brain. 
              • Listening to “preferred music” 
              will reduce muscle tension and relax children with severe physical 
              and mental disabilities.
            
 Listening to Music Enhances Our Learning 
              Abilities 
             When ‘preferred music’ is playing while 
              studying academic subjects, the retention and recall is greater… 
              thus the student gets higher grades. 
              • Memorize 
              • Spell  
              • Learn poetry  
              • Speak foreign languages 
            Language, spatial and mathematics skills were accelerated 
              in preschool children exposed to Mozart’s classical music. 
             
              The research is so strong, that many state supported day care centres 
              in America require Mozart’s classical music every day. 
            At Perfect Praise, Inc. we are working with interested 
              teachers to enhance classroom learning by listening to ‘preferred 
              music’. 
            All the benefits we have introduced to this point 
              have to do with listening to music… 
             
              But there is more!
