The Secretary-General said that playing the piano is a good activity, which is of great benefit to the physical and mental health of the elderly.
First of all, playing the piano can cultivate sentiment and make people more open-minded. When concentrating on practicing the piano, the performer can reach the realm of "wandering around the world, forgetting myself", which is very helpful for the elderly to cultivate their own self-cultivation. Secondly, playing the piano is a good way to exercise your thinking. Because piano works are the most complicated of all music scores, analyzing and understanding these pieces requires knowledge of music theory, harmony and polyphony, as well as strong memory, reasoning, analysis and logical judgment. Therefore, learning piano can help the elderly to develop their intelligence and keep them away from Alzheimer's disease under the influence of beauty.
In addition to mental exercise, playing the piano can also play a role in exercising. Because it needs hands, eyes, feet, ears and brain.
Take the movement of the hand as an example. When playing the piano, the hand should not only move vertically (press the key down), but also move horizontally (move the hand quickly above the next key). Touch keys with both hands at the same time, and touch keys with both hands separately; Play one or two notes at the same time and four or five at the same time. Moreover, the matching error between hands cannot exceed a few tenths of a second. Relevant research shows that long-term, systematic and comprehensive piano training will keep the heart, limbs, brain and other major organs in a reasonable, healthy and balanced state, thus achieving the functions of self-cultivation and longevity.
In addition, in the process of learning the piano, the elderly can communicate and learn with their peers, which virtually increases their contact with each other and makes a group of regular piano friends, so life is no longer lonely and monotonous.
However, Guo reminded his old friends that no matter playing the piano or playing chess, or writing and drawing, they should pay attention to one degree and follow the life rules of the elderly.
Many elderly people come to take the piano exam and want to try their own level, but in fact, the piano exam or competition is not suitable for the elderly. Because this kind of competitive activity will make the elderly feel nervous and their hearts beat faster, which is very unfavorable to their health. Old people should pay attention to calmness, cultivate self-cultivation, and don't be competitive.
