The Power of Music

Music is everywhere an we all listen to it, even without having chosen to do it. Most of the time, to listen to music is not a volunteer action since it is played almost in every place where we generally go during our day. For instance, if you work in a shop or in an office, music sounds there through radios. If you go to a restaurant or a café, music is used to create a certain atmosphere. If you take a taxi, or the bus, most drivers will obly you to listen to their favourite station. If you go to the gym, you would listen to music there, also. When the weekend arrives, parties and meetings with friends, even the church sermon, will be accompained with music.
It is because it is present most of the time in our lives, that music is being studied by specialists who want to know more about its influence in human life. Tests have been done as regarding what type of music people generally listen to, how much time is spent listening to music and what feelings evokes listening to it. Actually, there are many scientific disciplines involved in such studies. The main interest of most of them is to determine the impact of music and its consequences in people’s life.
There are many examples that clearly prove the power of music. Mothers sing to babies, just to calm them down. Many people use music as company, for example during work. There are students who use it to isolate their minds from the outside world and gain concentration while studying. I personally listen to music particularly when doing housework and cooking. The choice of listening to music while doing something else, or to obtain a certain effect from it, proves that we are seeking to get some benefit from music.
And we does really get some positive benefit from music, otherwise we wouldn’t use it that much in our daily lives. Music evokes feelings and emotions, and that’s it real power.Music cannot be separated from life, I mean, from human life, simply because music is life. It is a way of living, that most people tend to choose. Music influence people’s mood, it is relaxing and estimulating. And most important of all, it produces a feeling of well being. You have just to play some happy rhythym on your cd player or MP3 and you will inmediately start to feel good!...
