Every fan of music knows the tremendous power it can have
over both thoughts and emotions.
Great music can transform an ordinary day into something
magical, even spiritual. It can provide solace, release, strong sensations and
more.
But music’s influence spreads further still: right up from
our genetic code, through our thoughts and bodies and out into how we relate in
groups.
1. Seeing
happy faces
Music may make you feel different, but as little as 15
seconds of music can change the way you judge the emotions on other people’s
faces as well.
2. The
colour of music
Music naturally makes people think of certain colours.
Across different cultures, people pair particular types of music with
particular colours.
3. Babies
are born to dance!
Infants as young as five-months-old respond rhythmically to
music and seem to find it more interesting than speech.
4. Music
treats heart disease
…or at least it can help with the stress and anxiety
associated with having treatment for coronary heart disease.
5. Improve
verbal IQ
Practising the piano won’t just improve your musical
abilities, it can also improve your visual and verbal skills.
