Each of us can name at least one song that makes us feel something when we hear it. It can be a song that you associate with a terrible breakup or the loss of a loved one, or it might be a song that played during your first dance at your wedding.

      According to Barbara Else, senior adviser of policy and research at the American Music Therapy Association, "We have a such a deep connection to music because it is 'hardwired'" in our bodies. "Our physiology, functioning, and being are echoed by the elements of music, such as rhythm and melody."

      Given our strong bond with music, it may not come as a surprise that multiple studies have found it to be good for our mental health.   

      According to a 2011 study conducted by M c Gill University researchers in Canada, music therapy may be an effective way to cure depression because it stimulates the brain's production of the mood-enhancing neurotransmitter dopamine.

      lowering discomfort and worry
A famous line from Bob Marley is, "One good thing about music, when it hits you feel no pain." Some studies suggest that this claim may be accurate.

      Earlier this year, MNT covered a study from Brunal University in the UK that claimed music can help surgical patients feel less pain and anxious.

     More than 7,000 patients who underwent surgery were included in 72 randomized controlled trials, and it was discovered that those who listened to music afterward experienced less pain and anxiety than those who did not, and they were also less likely to require painkillers.

A powerful stress-reliever:
        There are various research that support the idea that listening to your  favourite  music might help you feel better when you're anxious.

       For instance, a study reported by MNT last month indicated that playing music to babies instead of talking to them, even when the talking featured baby jargon, resulted in longer periods of calmness.

       The repetitive nature of the music the infants listened to, according to the study's researchers, including Prof. Isabelle Peretz of the Center for Research on Brain, Music, and Language at the University of Montreal in Canada, may have helped the infants feel less distressed by encouraging "entertainment"—the capacity of the body's internal rhythms to synchronize with external rhythms, pulses, or beats.

        The art of combining form, harmony, melody, rhythm, and/or other expressive elements with sound to produce music is usually understood to be the definition of music. 

      Even while music is a part of all human communities and a cultural staple, precise definitions of it differ significantly across the globe. Although experts concur that a few particular characteristics define music, there is disagreement over how to define each of these aspects.

       Although the subject itself spans academic disciplines, criticism, philosophy, and psychology, the process of making music is typically broken down into three parts: musical composition, musical improvisation, and musical performance.

       Many other instruments, including the human voice, can be used to perform or improvise music.

      A composition or performance may contain some improvisation in certain musical circumstances.
