Isn’t it interesting how hearing a particular song can bring back a special memory or make you feel happy or calm or pumped up? People are born with the ability to tell the difference between music and noise. Our brains actually have different pathways for processing different parts of music including pitch, melody, rhythm, and tempo. And, fast music can actually increase your heart rate, breathing, and blood pressure, while slower music tends to have the opposite effect. Music can make us feel strong emotions, such as joy, sadness, or fear.

According to some researchers, music may even have the power to improve our health and well-being. Many studies suggest that listening to music can have the following positive effects on health, including: improves mood, reduces stress, lessens anxiety, improves memory, relieves pain, and improves cognition.
