A Word From The Course Creator:

Hi and Welcome,

My name is Nick and I am passionate about music as it relates to stress management.

As a kid growing up in the 80's, I loved music and cinema. Rock, new wave, electronic music and movie scores really marked my youth. I never played music though until fairly recently.

In 2021, while the pandemic was creating havoc, I felt drawn to starting to play music. At the time, I did not realize that was my way of dealing with stress.

how-to-start-a-music-hobby

I got a keyboard, a DAW and a guitar and being a DIY kind of guy, I just started on my own. There are tons of free and paid resources to learn music, but it can really be overwhelming and it's hard to know where to start. Gradually, I found "my sound", made progress and started making and posting tracks on YouTube and other streaming platforms. The learning curve was very steep, but the experience was always worth it, so I kept going. I released 3 albums: Apollo 1 in 2022, Apollo 2 in 2023 and Apollo 3 in 2024.

Three years later and I decided to put everything I learned in a simple course to help anyone kickstart their music hobby to have fun and fight stress.

Working in the functional medicine world, I can see how stressed people are and the negative impact on health. Playing a music instrument is a great, fun and inexpensive way to improve your life and add spice to it.

Introduction - Your Why

why-starting-music-hobby-can-reduce-stress

Welcome to PRELUDE! An exclusive online course designed to help you kickstart your music hobby, reduce stress and improve your quality of life.

Stress is part of life. However, chronic stress can be very detrimental to physical and mental health if left unchecked. As they say:

"Stress is the silent killer"

Many studies demonstrate the therapeutic benefits of music. Listening to music helps but we believe playing music takes the stress reduction benefits to a higher level because it is an immersive experience that takes the mind off the sources of stress, whether it is work, family, finance, health, current events, etc. Powerful hormones are released, such as serotonin and endorphins, which elevate mood. Music can boost the brain's production dopamine, the "happy" hormone.

So, set your expectations right. Have fun. Play music. Manage frustrations. It’s a journey, not a destination. However, by the end of this course, the ideal outcome is:

  • You've defined the personal brand you want to build.

  • You have your equipment and a place to play music, whether a room or kitchen counter with headphones.

  • You set up your system to keep you on track, inspired and supported.

  • You understand the basic principles of music theory and sound design.

  • You've experimented certain techniques and are having fun playing simple melodies.

Remember, your Why is reduce stress to improve your quality of life.

🚀 Let's get started!

MEDICAL STUDIES

Therapeutic Benefits of Music

[1] Music and Stress

"Music-based interventions, particularly music therapy, may be helpful for improving physical and psychological markers associated with stress, according to two related reviews.

  • In a 2020 review with 104 studies (9,617 participants), investigators looked at the effects of a variety of music-based interventions on measures associated with stress, including both physical measures (heart rate, blood pressure, and levels of stress-related hormones) and psychological measures (anxiety, nervousness, restlessness, and feelings of worry). The music-based interventions had a small-to-medium sized beneficial effect on the physical measures and a medium-to-large beneficial effect on the psychological measures. 

  • A second review looked at 47 studies (2,747 participants) of music therapy (excluding other music-based interventions) and found an overall medium-to-large beneficial effect on stress-related outcomes. The effects were greater than those seen in the larger review. The investigators who performed the review suggested that the opportunity for music therapists to tailor interventions to the needs of individual patients might account for the difference."

[2] Music and Happiness

Music and Happiness:

"Music is happiness, and it transcends cultures, space, and time. Music is universally understood.

Researchers have revealed strong links between music and happiness, suggesting that music not only makes you emotive but also correlates positively with overall health, emotional wellbeing, and productivity."

Feeling of Progression and Happiness:

"In 2013, researchers tested this theory and published the results in the Journal of Positive Psychology. They asked participants to listen to 12 minutes of music and report how they felt afterward. They asked a second group how they felt, even when they didn’t listen to music. They found people who listened to the music tended to feel happier. 

In 2016, researchers conducted a second study about the impact of music. They created a survey and presented it to more than 2,000 people. They found that sad music people heard when experiencing something sad could bring those hard feelings back when they were played later on. However, some people called their feelings “comforting sorrow” or “sweet sorrow,” suggesting that their sadness was tinged with something new."

"One way to happiness is progression – in its simplest form, just doing stuff."
