How magical is music?

image

In life, music seems to be indispensable, it affects each person’s life, as well as the way they express their nature, all of which have been proven by science,

Some of the interesting things about music that researchers have discovered include: Your musical taste accurately describes who you are, including your political views; Your musical taste is influenced by your parents; You like certain songs because they are related to deep emotional experiences in life; The music you love in your 20s is also the music you love for the rest of your life; Rock stars live very fast and often die young; Research also shows that music can make you drink more, spend more money, be kinder, and sometimes even more extravagant.

Rock and heavy metal music does not cause people to commit suicide, but country music does. An analysis of several recessions in 49 metropolitan areas found that the more time country music was played, the higher the number of white suicides. Music is so influential that it can cause addiction.

Here are some of the miraculous effects of music that have been scientifically proven:

1. Music helps you relax

If you need to relax, skip pop and jazz and “join” classical music. In the book “59 Seconds: Change Your Life in Under a Minute” by author Richard Wiseman, it is written: “Blood pressure indicators show that listening to pop and jazz has a similar restorative effect as absolute silence. In contrast, people who listen to Pachelbel and Vivaldi relax faster and their blood pressure drops back to normal faster.”

2) Listening to angry music increases work performance

We often think of anger as having a negative effect, but this emotion also has positive effects. Anger focuses attention on rewards, increases persistence, makes us feel in control, and makes us feel more optimistic about success. When participants listened to angry music while playing a game, they scored higher.

3) Music reduces pain

When ibuprofen doesn’t work, try turning up your favorite song. Research shows that music reduces pain: “Liked music has been shown to significantly increase tolerance and control of painful stimuli and reduce anxiety compared to visual distraction and silence.”

4) Music makes exercise more effective

The gym is not the place to try new music genres. Turn up your favorite songs to get the most out of your workout. Turn on your favorite song and play it continuously while cycling to help you go further than if you turn on a song you don’t like.

5) Music helps you find love

If you want that “special someone” to notice you, turn on a romantic song. Women are more likely to give their phone number after listening to love songs. Research shows that women respond more quickly to romantic lyrics than to neutral lyrics.

6) Music saves lives

Professor John Hafner of the University of Illinois Peoria School of Medicine asked 15 doctors and medical students to perform 100 CPRs (on a dummy) while listening to the Bee Gees’ Stayin’ Alive. According to Hafner’s report in the Journal of Emergency Medicine, the group had a technical accuracy rate of 109.1. Five weeks later, the same group repeated the exercise while singing the song to themselves as a “musical memory aid,” and their accuracy rate rose to 113.2. Medical experts said this “mental counting” improved “technical ability and confidence in performing CPR.”

7) Music improves work (sometimes)

Does music help you work better or distract you? The answer to this question is unclear, but many people think that music seems to reduce work performance but increase the joy of working.

Research shows that music distracts reading, has a small effect on memory loss but has a positive effect on emotional responses…

So a little music makes you more creative, and if you have “attention deficit hyperactivity disorder” (ADHD), noise can help you concentrate. Noise has a positive effect on the recognition ability of people with ADHD, and research has shown that people with ADHD need more noise than other people to achieve optimal recognition ability.

8) Use Music to Make You Smarter

There’s tons of evidence that music lessons improve your IQ. In addition, listening to classical music boosts brain performance, according to researchers. After listening to a 15-minute lecture, students were asked to answer a quiz based on the lecture. The results: the students who listened to music scored higher than those who didn’t listen to music.

9) Music Makes You a Better Person

Music can make you a more compassionate person. In a year-long study that focused on a group of children who composed music between the ages of 8 and 11, the results showed that the group became more compassionate. This proves that children who compose music together are not just “for fun,” but also gain an important part of emotional intelligence. When Venezuela made music a compulsory subject, crime rates dropped and fewer children dropped out of school
