Test have shown that music has an effect on the mind and the body. Elizabeth Scott wrote an article called "How and why is music a good tool for health?" The article talks about how test and experiments have been taken to see if music can heal, its called music therapy. It also says that music is being used to help cancer patients, kids with attention problems, pain management, depression, and to ease muscle tension. Another detail is that the beat of a song can stimulate the brainwaves to synchronize with the beat. I agree with that statement that music has an effect on your mind and body. When i listen to music it relaxes me, it clears my mind and helps me think.
Music is good for the mind because the beat of the song or the lyrics could be the motivation for some people. Myself for an example uses music for motivation all the time. A song with a strong beat is usually used when I'm working out. I specificly choose a song called "do it" by a rap artist named T.I The beat is very loud and fast and has an amped feeling to it and in the chourus he keeps saying whats you waiting for do it you gotta keep doing it. Hearing that tells my brain and my body to not stop keep going and motivation is what people need to get things done. Music is also good for people going through hard times or even depression.
When people are depressed a lot of things happen to go wrong in their lives. For me when im deperessed I always turn to music for my medication, depression is a tough attitude to escape from a lot of people try to help but music always does the trick. The song for me is a song with a low toned beat to help me think and just relax and enjoy the small things in life. One of my favorite songs to help me relax is called "clocks" by coldplay. It has a piano type of beat and the lyrics of the song really helps me to think about everything around me.
In conclusion of this essay we see that music is being used to help people health issues, attention problems, and depression problems. People look up to music artist and thingk highly of them. Probably the fact of having a favorite artist is probablythe key to music helping people.
