The Benefits of Music:

There are so many benefits of music that we can enjoy. Music can soothe the
brokenhearted, motivate runners and kickoff the most epic dance parties, but it also has
some serious scientific benefits for our health and overall wellbeing.  Listening to music
is one of the easiest and most fun ways to strengthen the bonds between people.
Here are three ways that music can improve your relationship
1)Hearing music alters the neurochemicals in our brains and triggers the release
of dopamine and endorphins.  These can boost our mood so can share positive
chemical rush
2) Several studies observing indigenous people who use music in their
community gatherings, found that listening to music together strengthens the bonds in
groups by making people feel like they belong, increasing people’s positive perceptions
of the people they are sharing the experience with.
3) Another part of the power of music comes from the way the beat synchronizes
people–even if it’s just a slight sway, tapping of your foot, or nodding of your head,
moving in sync with other people makes you in tune with them.
Music benefit memory:
Patients with memory loss can often remember songs and specific song lyrics.
Doctors will often use music and lyric recall to help individuals retrieve lost
memories. Music and its effect on memory has been a heated debate in the scientific
world, but researchers  now have evidence that the processing of music and language,
specifically memorizing information, rely on some of the same brain systems. Music and
musical training have also been shown to protect the aging brain and keep it healthy.
Music improve workout
Not only can music distract you from “bodily awareness” aka the aches and pains of
working out, it has a health effect too.
Listening to music releases endorphins in the brain. Endorphins give us a heightened
feeling of excitement. In addition to feeling euphoric, endorphins quell anxiety, ease
pain and stabilize the immune system. With high endorphin levels, we have fewer
negative effects of stress.

Music help you heal


A study from Austria’s General Hospital of Salzburg found that patients recovering from
back surgery had increased rates of healing and reported less pain when music was
incorporated into the standard rehabilitation process.

babies in our mother’s womb listening to her heartbeat and breathing rhythms.” – Lead
