10 health benefits of listening to pleasant music
- Experts who deal with music research in general also give advice on the choice of music. Music therapists believe that pleasant music affects a person’s mood (which has a direct impact on the process of remembering and solving current life problems).
- Favorite songs improve cognitive functions, helping to increase working capacity through emotions, improve memory and attention. Unpleasant music, on the contrary, has a negative effect on the brain.
- However, favorite songs can “distract” the attention and completely “immerse” the brain only in listening to such songs, which is not desirable while doing work.
- During work and training to improve memory, it is preferable to listen to neutral music at a moderate volume (music that does not cause any emotions).
- Music therapists recommend giving preference to classical music, instrumental compositions (without words), songs in foreign languages and nature sounds to improve memory.
- Listening to music too loud makes it difficult to concentrate, very distracting and generally harmful to health. Moderate strength is always desirable.
- Oriental music and Indian songs are also a good choice of music. Mozart’s music improves the perception of space (according to some studies) and helps with concentration and attention.
- Mozart’s music has a long-term positive effect. The effect of listening lasts for several days and sometimes for weeks.
- Mozart’s compositions harmonize the work of both hemispheres of the brain and sharpen attention and focus.
- Listening to Mozart’s music generally improves the health of the human body as a whole.
