When you feel threatened, a chemical reaction occurs in your body that allows you to act in a way to prevent injury. This reaction is known as\n                      &#8220;fight-or-flight,\u201d or the stress response. During stress response, your heart rate increases, breathing quickens, muscles tighten, and blood pressure rises. You\u2019ve gotten ready to act. It is how you protect yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stress can cause a variety of symptoms and&nbsp;affect your overall well-being. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Symptoms of stress include:\n                        <ul>\n                          <li>irritability<\/li>\n                          <li>anxiety<\/li>\n                          <li>depression<\/li>\n                          <li>headaches<\/li>\n                          <li>insomnia<\/li>\n                        <\/ul>\n                      <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2>Piano music relaxation: benefits<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Studies show that playing the piano improves mental health. People who play the piano tend to experience less anxiety and depression than their nonmusical counterparts. Playing for a few minutes a day can improve self-esteem, make\n                      you feel more positive, and can lower your blood pressure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike other instruments, the piano is easy to play (it really is!). There is no physical pain involved with learning to play the piano. When new to the guitar, one must build up calluses on the fingers, and when learning to play a                       brass or woodwind instrument, one must learn how to use your facial muscles and lips to produce sound. Both are often painful and can dissuade otherwise enthusiastic students from continuing to learn. To play the piano, all you have                       to do is sit, and press down a key.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In our teaching approach we use the naturally mood-lifting properties of piano music for relaxation, and to help people improve their mental health and overall well-being. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This form of piano music relaxation is helpful for managing day to day stressful situatuons. Moreover it may help improve the quality of life for people experincing occasional and chronic stress.\u00a0Anyone can engage in music therapy;                       you don\u2019t need a background in music to experience its beneficial effects. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Sonata&#8217;s teachers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Our teachers are New York University Music Therapy graduates, who are specialized in piano teaching and music therapy for relaxation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They have obtained American Music Therapy Association\u2013approved degree, which combines practical clinical experiences, advanced course work in music therapy methods, as well as theory and research.<\/p>\n\n\n<div data-colibri-id=\"408-c6\" class=\"h-x-container style-247 style-local-408-c6 position-relative h-element\">\n                  <!----><p><\/p>\n<div class=\"h-x-container-inner style-dynamic-408-c6-group style-247-spacing style-local-408-c6-spacing\"><span class=\"h-button__outer style-248-outer style-local-408-c7-outer d-inline-flex h-element\"><a h-use-smooth-scroll=\"true\" href=\"\" data-colibri-id=\"408-c7\" class=\"d-flex w-100 align-items-center h-button justify-content-lg-center justify-content-md-center justify-content-center style-248 style-local-408-c7 position-relative\"><!----><!----> <span>Subscribe to get a special offer!<\/span><\/a><br>\n                    <\/span>\n                  <\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What Is Stress?
