occurring sounds and rhythms.
Human music may echo these
phenomena using patterns,
repetition and tonality.

performance than children who didn’t take lessons.
Raises IQ and Academic
Functioning
Listening to those top workout tracks can enhance
physical performance and increase workout endurance
during a tough session. When we’re focusing on our
favorite album, we’re not noticing that we’ve just ran an
extra mile or increased our reps.
Increase workout endurance
Listening to music after a workout can help recovery
your body quicker. Regardless if it’s slow music that
helps set a relaxing effect, any music can really help.
Speed up post-workout recovery
Listening to music can help you decrease stress level
hormone called cortisol, which counteracts effects of chronic
stress. This is a crucial finding because stress causes 60% of
all our diseases and illnesses. A study found that if people
participated in making music by conducting multiple percussion
instruments and singing, their immune system was actually
bumped up even more than if they passively listened.
Reduce stress and anxiety
Music therapy and pre-recorded music reduced
pain more than typical treatments for cancer patients.
Other research indicates that it can also reduce pain in
intensive care patients.
Decrease pain
When you listen to music, you release a chemical in
your brain called dopamine– a ‘feel good’ neurotransmitter.
Valorie Salimpoor, a neuroscientist at McGill University
injected eight music addictors with a radioactive substance
that binds with dopamine receptors after they listened to
their favorite music.
Make you happier
Music can help you acknowledge and remember
information better. Participants tried to memorize Japanese
characters while listening to music that seemed either
neutral or positive to them. The results showed that
participants who were musicians learned better with neutral
music but tested better with pleasurable music.
Can help with memory
A study indicated that students who listening to calm
music for 45 minutes before going to sleep showed
significant better sleep than students who listened to an
audiobook or did nothing different.
Helps you sleep better
A study in the Netherlands found that listening to
music can set a positive impact on your mood while
driving, which leads to safer behavior.
Decreases road rage
Patients with Alzheimer’s and other age-related
dementias remember who they are or even certain
memories of their past life by having them listen to some old
and meaningful tracks. Dr. Mosqueda is a director of
Geriatrics at the University of California at Irvine School of
Medicine and elaborates that because music touches so
many areas of the brain.
Helps Alzheimer’s patients
remember
refers to a popular scientific theory that listening to
Mozart’s compositions (and other classical music) will increase spatial
intelligence. Most studies focus on children and their reactions when
listening.
