Music does much more than exalt our senses or relax anxiety , it puts us in a good mood, helps mitigate pain, improves quality of life, stimulates learning, communication and body expression in children. Have you noticed that every time a song plays, children dance quickly?
The therapeutic activity of music is not new, although nowadays it is in full expansion thanks to the numerous reports and studies. All these benefits are generated by the deep stimulation at the brain level that causes each of the musical waves, regardless of the tastes of each person:

If we get carried away by our favorite songs, cortisone (the hormone related to anxiety) is reduced and the mind releases the accumulated tensions. “If we are very stressed, it is better to opt for more lively music, since it will connect more with the mood,” says Vercet.
We all remember that concert of fury with friends, the last parties of the town where the orchestra sang all the great hits we know, or that weird party night that ended in a karaoke … and we all remember those moments as something positive, with a smile , like a good memory.
The good sensations are experienced if we sing aloud : the breathing becomes deeper and slower and there is a greater muscular activity, so it will increase the relaxation. Do you remember that we recently read about screaming in the gym ?Stimulates concentration
