Opening Remarks

（开场弄个提问环节）（bushi）

Hello everyone, and welcome to today’s presentation! As we go through life, music is a constant companion. From the simple nursery rhymes of childhood to the pop hits of adolescence, and later, to the more complex and introspective melodies of adulthood, our musical preferences evolve in ways that mirror our inner worlds and personal growth.

Before we dive in, I'd like to ask you to think back for a moment: what kind of music did you listen to at different stages of your life? Perhaps there were childhood songs you loved to sing with your family, or teenage anthems that defined your group of friends. These musical moments have all played a role in shaping who we are, and even if we don't listen to those songs anymore, they still carry a certain emotional resonance.

If you're comfortable sharing, I'd love to hear about the music that marked different phases of your life. These personal experiences can help set the stage for our discussion today.

In the next part of our presentation, we'll explore how our musical tastes shift across various stages of life, and reflect on how these changes align with our emotional and cognitive growth. Let’s begin this journey through the soundtrack of our lives!

Childhood: Exploration and Simplicity

Preferences: As children, our musical tastes are influenced by our immediate environment, including family, cultural norms, and media targeted at young audiences. Simple, upbeat, and repetitive tunes dominate because they are easy to remember and enjoyable.

Reflection of Inner World: This phase reflects innocence, curiosity, and a focus on emotional immediacy. Music here often provides comfort and joy, aligning with a child’s need for security and playfulness.

Adolescence: Identity and Emotional Expression

Preferences: Teenagers often gravitate toward music that feels rebellious, emotionally charged, or reflective of their emerging individuality. Genres like pop, rock, hip-hop, or indie become dominant as peers and subcultures shape choices.

Reflection of Inner World: Adolescence is a time of self-discovery, emotional highs and lows, and a desire to connect with others. Music becomes a tool for expressing identity, processing emotions, and forming social bonds.

Adulthood: Nuance and Personal Resonance

Preferences: In adulthood, music choices become more diverse and personalized. We may revisit nostalgic tunes from our youth while also exploring genres that resonate with our matured tastes, such as jazz, classical, or world music.

Reflection of Inner World: This stage reflects greater emotional stability, deeper introspection, and a nuanced understanding of life. Adults often seek music that aligns with their values, mood, or need for relaxation and inspiration.

Why These Changes Occur

  1. Cognitive Development: As we grow, our brains become better at processing complexity, leading us to appreciate more intricate music.

  2. Emotional Growth: Life experiences, relationships, and challenges shape our emotional needs, which music fulfills in different ways.

  3. Social Context: In childhood and adolescence, external influences like family and peers dominate. In adulthood, personal choice and individuality take precedence.

What It Reveals About Growth

Shifting Needs: Childhood music reflects a need for simplicity and joy, adolescence captures exploration and identity-building, and adulthood highlights a search for meaning and comfort.

Emotional Maturity: The progression from surface-level enjoyment to deeper emotional and intellectual connection mirrors our psychological and emotional development.

Ultimately, the evolution of our musical tastes serves as a soundtrack to our personal growth, with each phase offering insight into the person we were, are, and aspire to be.
