Why we need music

Music plays a great role in our lives; it has a lot
of benefits. Read on to learn more about the
benefits of listening to music:
Music is important for creativity: Music is
considered to be one of the best ways to
enter a ‘mind- wandering mode’ which was
discovered by neurologist Marcus Raichle in

1. This is the state the brain enters into
   most easily and music is one of the most
   effective ways of allowing you to enter this
   mode. Music fuels the mind and thus it fuels
   our creativity. A creative mind allows to
   make great discoveries and innovations.
   Music makes learning more fun and
   memorable: Music can make learning more
   fun and engaging which is a great tool for
   memorization. Music can help kids keep
   focus and remember things they learnt for a
   long time. Far from being a distraction it
   helps people remember better. Evidence that
   music helps with memory has led to
   researchers to study more about the impact
   of music on people who suffer memory loss.
   Music is a universal language: Musicians claim
   that with music you can communicate across
   cultural and linguistic boundaries in ways
   that you cannot do with ordinary languages.
   It has the ability to evoke deep feeling at
   the core of the shared human experience.
   Music brings people together: Although music
   can certainly be played and listened to alone
   it is a powerful social magnet. There is
   something about listening to music or playing
   it with other people that makes you feel
   connected with those around you. The more
   we use music to bring us together the more
   potential for increased empathy, social
   connection and cooperation.
   Music reduces stress and anxiety: Research
   has shown that listening to music at least
   music with slow tempo and low pitch can
   calm people down even during highly stressful
   and painful event. It also has the ability to
   help with pain management for example
   during childbirth.
