We are fortunate enough to live in a time and place that allows most of us a fair amount of of free time to pursue our own interests, and if we’re extremely luck, the money to follow through. In this cultural framework, self-expression has become an important part of our lives, and in fact, has become an important part of how we deal with the stresses of the other half (or more) of our lives, and how we deal with many mental health difficulties. One of the many, many ways people choose to express themselves, is of course, music, but music itself is a hugely broad vehicle for self-expression. We have talked at great length in the past about the amazing impact practicing and making music can have on overall physical and mental health and well being, but we’ve mostly focused on the learning to play, and playing existing music aspects of this unique form of human magic. This week we’re going to flip the coin a bit, and talk about songwriting as an important form of self-expression and useful tool when it comes to mental health and well being.
