THE POWER OF MUSIC.

Nowadays it is almost impossible to live a day without music. It's everywhere. But very few of us have any idea of the effect music has on people.

Resent research in America and Australia has shown that certain types of music have a particular effect on us. For example, some music will help us feel relaxed and peaceful, and other types may encourage our creativity and curiosity. Some music promotes loving feelings while other sounds call for violence.

As a result music is used in hospitals and soothing music is more effective than medicine.

Psychologists believe that all music can be divided into three types: low – energy music that makes you feel bad and hate. Most rock music falls into this category. The next category is high – energy. This makes you feel better. It can help to normalize the heart rate.

The third category is prayerful music. This is the most healing of all. Most of the classical music falls into this category. Most jazz, country and western music is neutral. Music can help us in our daily life. For example, you can prepare yourself for an exam or a job interview. It can also act as a pain reliever when you go to the dentist. Listening to music gives your brain a break and helps get through the day.
