"Some people may think that musical rhetoric seems to be just a metaphor for traditional music theory? It is just to borrow linguistic rhetoric to make composition easier and faster and cleaner."

Li Wenyin smiled and expressed her classmates’ questions.

The students nodded involuntarily.

The previous series of concepts and operations only let the students know that music rhetoric can help composers have more ideas and render the effects they want to achieve faster and more accurately.

But this theory... although very effective, for students who are majoring in this profession, they can understand language rhetoric and then integrate it into musical rhetoric. The efforts and rewards seem to be somewhat... not proportional?

Under the understanding of many students, although this music rhetoric is only helpful when composing music in daily life, it seems that the help is far less than the time spent in studying.

"But in fact, musical rhetoric is far more than that."

Li Wenyin opened his courseware.

"Because, depending on the purpose, genre, and subject matter of composition, the [rhetorical techniques] used are also different. Rhetoric can effectively integrate these techniques and techniques, making the expression of composition more intuitive and targeted."

The courseware shows some completely unrelated content.

【Music Therapy】!

The students seemed to have gotten something.

As a music student, although he does not know much about this unpopular emerging major, he is definitely not particularly unfamiliar with it.

Music students have a wide range of professional tendencies.

Various instruments are played, domestic and foreign.

Different singing majors, bel canto, pop, ethnic groups, etc., although they are all vocal musical departments, the focus is still different.

Theoretically, there are also composition, art directing, etc.

After all, there are very few fancy composers like Li Wenyin, and more composers are only good at styles in a certain field.

That is, the so-called one essence and multiple specialties.

Art guidance is even more extensive, and there may even be choreography guidance and audio guidance.

Sound master, recording engineer, tuner.

And these various professions can also be divided into non-education and education industries.

For example, music psychology is just a branch of a side or a marginal subject. When placed in a university, it may be just an elective course.

But music therapy has long been formed as a systematic professional!!

"In fact, although it sounds a bit magical, music therapy is a discipline derived from humanities and science."

Li Wenyin said seriously.

"It is not that music can cure all diseases, nor is it that the exaggerated idea that the five tones correspond to the five internal organs in folk sayings. Although there were signs of the development of music therapy in ancient my country, because basic knowledge was lacking among the people, music therapy was tied to theology and mysticism, even medicine and traditional culture too closely, and instead lost the path of development."

"Of course it's not to say that this is metaphysics, because, under the study of modern science, music can be used for psychological and even physiological treatment. For example, some people understand that music itself is useless, it is just a self-comfort effect. It is actually wrong."

Speaking of this, Li Wenyin clicked on the courseware.

"Although everyone knows some basic information and related knowledge of music therapy, they know that concerts can guide emotions and indirectly guide mental, psychological, and even physiological."

"But what we need to do is not to understand how music therapy works, but to take the initiative to make music have sufficient therapeutic effects. Everyone should know that patients do not learn music, or even have no ability to feel music or appreciate music. Therefore, at this time, in order to achieve the guiding effect of music, we need to study how to make an ordinary person who does not understand music completely guide and regulate emotions by us."

"In this process, musical rhetoric can be of great help."

Li Wenyin's words made the students realize it.

If you understand some reasons, you will definitely not be able to directly use music to treat injuries.

The real thing is to learn to analyze the essence and learn how to actively use these skills to achieve the effect of music therapy.

"Let me tell you a real case. This is a real case I encountered while conducting a concert tour in Europe a long time ago."

Li Wenyin smiled, as if she remembered something she had encountered before.

"A little girl from France had fake autism and was accompanied by severe social disorders. At that time, I once gave this girl a piano piece called "Girl's Prayer."

"There's still this?!"

The students were a little surprised.

Although I know that Li Wenyin has this song, this song is not so obvious under the glory of Li Wenyin's other works.

Few classmates know about the story behind it.

"I've heard of this. It was in Europe at that time, and the news was popular for a while!"

Li Wenyin smiled softly when she saw the students talking.

"At that time, that little princess was not interested in anything and closed herself in her inner world, but she became interested in the piano. So her father once looked for me, but because of all kinds of concerns and reasons, I just gave her a piece of music."

"Although she didn't contact her again, the doctor she found in her father started using music therapy. Although it was not guaranteed that it would treat autism, it at least soothes emotions and guides benign emotions, so that both the psychology and physiology maintain a relatively healthy mental state. In this process, music therapy has great effect."

Opening the courseware, Li Wenyin continued to get to the point.

"First of all, what is music therapy, what is the principle of music therapy? What will be the relationship with music rhetoric?"

"Student, tell me your opinion?"

Li Wenyin pointed to a student who seemed to be curious in the audience.

The student was stunned and stood up with a flushed face.

"I think music therapy is achieved based on emotional guidance."

"very good!"

Li Wenyin nodded.

The encouraged students couldn't help but feel very excited.

I only heard Li Wenyin continue.

"In fact, the most contributing literature and ideas for the profession of music therapy are described in an article published by an anonymous author."

"The article is called "Physiological Thinking of Music". The article draws on the views of philosopher Descartes and draws a conclusion that has profoundly influenced the development of the discipline of music therapy."

"Mental state can affect physical health, while music can guide and affect emotions, and emotions can also affect mental state. Perhaps music can have therapeutic effects."

"To this day, this is also one of the theoretical basis for the discipline of music therapy!"

The students suddenly realized.

If you only hear this subject name, you always feel that you have some deviation in your understanding.

But if you trace the essence, you can find that this discipline is not as incompetent as you imagined, but it is definitely not a fantasy magic that is exaggerated.

A very simple truth is to influence emotions through music, and through emotions, affect mental state.

If this continues, if the mental state is changed, it will cause a certain physiological reaction!!

It’s like if you fall into anxiety and fear for a long time because of some "underworld" music, your mental state will definitely be very poor. At this time, it will affect the body’s endocrine, leading to some vital signs, nutritional status and other physiological discomforts.

For example, acne, wrinkles, fatigue, worse skin condition, and severe vomiting, fatigue, and even more severe irritation reactions.

For example, changing a song of death heavy metal rock into an unrecognizable tone with extremely dissonant tone, then using it to the speaker and playing it on a person for several weeks and a month.

Even gods are hard to bear.

"However, although scholars conducted research for a hundred years, the research content was scattered due to the lack of theoretical frameworks and systems, and the results were very small."

"It can even be said to be a coincidence that really opened the door to music therapy."

Li Wenyin smiled.

"In the First World War, there were some musicians who came to the battlefield to perform music to the injured soldiers with the purpose of simply trying to soothe the wounded mood through music."

"The process is surprisingly good. It may be that the music covers the sounds that make the patients frighten, such as the sound of equipment that collided with the scalpel and the surgical disc, or that it may fade the wailing screams of the wounded around them, or soothe the doctors' nervous and anxious mood, or that it may break the desperate silence like dead silence."

"Music brings hope to the wounded."

"Whether during the treatment or during the recovery process, these wounded people are much better, both in terms of mental and physical states."

"Even the post-war PTTSD reaction has faded a lot."

"At this point, such treatments have been widely recognized, which is part of the reason why the army is equipped with art troupes. In fact, even our country has had a precedent for using music to soothe the trauma of the soldiers during the war years that year."

Li Wenyin's words made the students begin to develop a cognition and understanding of the development of music therapy.

The mysterious veil shrouded in the subject of music therapy has gradually been unveiled.

It reveals a real and reliable subject.

"Let's keep talking!"

Li Wenyin preached to the students.

"Although the science of music therapy has just begun at this time, there are actually many examples in history, and they can even be traced back to very long periods."

"For example... Western priests have also used this musical therapy to soothe mentally disturbed patients."

"Even in daily life, mothers use lullabies to coax their children is a practical manifestation of music affecting emotions and spirit."

"Of course!"

Li Wenyin's face suddenly became strange, and she caught off guard with an example of causing her classmates to break their waists.
