Effects music can have on us
- The physical effect. We subconsciously match what we are doing to what we hear. One study found that diners chewed at a faster pace when higher-tempo music was played.
- Associations that music can trigger and how our environment can affect those associations. Diners are willing to spend more when classical music is played. Researchers suggest it is because classical music is associated with quality.

Mozart as Medicine: Music Therapy and the Health Benefits of Music
Health Benefits Of Music
Music has been shown to play a role in healing our bodies and increasing our health and happiness. Studies show that music relieves pain in patients, and also relieves stress and anxiety...
Limitations in the Findings About Music
- There is still ambiguity if listening to or playing the music causes the benefits.
- It is not known if stimulating or relaxing music is doing the healing.
- It is not known if the music is the person’s favourite music or of his liking, as opposed to something chosen by the experimenter.
- There are several other factors like a group playing vs individual playing of music, or a large random trial, which needs to be looked at in the future

Music and productivity

Music and motivation
Playing the right music in the office motivates staff.
When you're concentrating, you'll want calmer, more relaxing music. At the end of the day, when you're feeling tired, you'll desire more upbeat music.
The benefits of music
There are two possible ways music might be beneficial while working:
- It makes us feel good, therefore helping us to work through otherwise tedious tasks.
- It makes us smarter. The Mozart effect is a well-known example - that listening to a piano sonata composed by a genius can make you perform better.
Some famous composers' work has better cognitive benefits than others. Studies show that Mozart's sonata increased "alpha band" brain waves, which is linked to memory, cognition, and problem-solving.

Pop music 'saw three revolutions'
Western pop music
A research team looked at more than 17,000 songs from the US Billboard Hot 100 and found three music revolutions - in 1964, 1983, and 1991.
The researchers looked at the di...
Stylistic revolutions
- In the 1960s, the radical new rocky sound emerged from the Beatles to the Rolling Stones.
- The minor seventh chords were introduced through funk, soul, and disco in the 1970s.
- In the 1980s, there was a blip where the introduction of arena rock meant that music lacked diversity.
- New technology, synthesizers, samplers, and drum machines marked the second major style shift in 1983.
- In 1991, rap and hip-hop went mainstream. This revolution doesn't use a lot of harmonies. Emphasis is on speech sounds and rhythm.
