Framing music: They’re playing our song

Framing the soundtrack of our lives

Music plays such an important role in our lives. Maybe you fondly recall the music that your parents played as you were growing up, or the music you played while doing homework. Dick Clark once said, “Music is the soundtrack of your life.” Much like art, music can speak volumes; it is personal to each person who hears it. Thanks to custom framing, you can enjoy your favorite songs visually by framing your music. Vintage sheet music and vinyl albums often have striking visuals that invoke nostalgic memories. Let us help you create a beautiful framed display for the soundtrack of your life.

Music is much more than notes on a page. Louie Armstrong knew the joy it brought into our lives when he said, “Music is life itself.” Do you know what else it does?

Studies have shown that music can:

Reduce pain/depression & make you happier
Lower stress, improve health & help you sleep better
Strengthen learning, memory & verbal intelligence
Keep your brain healthy as you age

Sheet music is an art unto itself, and framing music is a beautiful way to both preserve it and show it off.

“For me, songwriting is something I have to do ritually. I don’t just wait for inspiration; I try to write a little bit every day.”

– Sean Lennon

For some, the music comes first, others start with the lyrics. Either way, poetry is a song yet to be. Framing music or the original lyrics is a great way to preserve the inspiration for your favorite song.

“I think music in itself is healing. It’s something we are all touched by, no matter what culture we’re from.”

– Billy Joel

Music transcends boundaries with its language – no matter the culture or era. When you frame sheet music, the visual becomes timeless as well as the sound.

“Music is the art which is most nigh to tears and memory.”

— Oscar Wilde

We all have a favorite album or two. You can remember the good times you were having when you listened to that music. Bring back those memories by framing music that captures your favorite memories, so you can see it daily.

Did you know that music boosts brain function?

Music is one of the few activities that utilizes all of the brain. Studies have shown dramatic results in Alzheimer’s patients when listening to music. It stimulates pathways to the parts of the brain that are still healthy.

Playing music increases the ability to concentrate and trains mental and physical memory. It awakens connections in the brain because you have to think faster than the instrument can play, practice frequently, and recall lyrics, chords, notes, etc. It can also help relieve anxiety and stress.

Studies have also shown that students who are active in music classes score higher on tests, particularly in math.
