What Affects Human Emotions - Music

 Music
 
Music stimulates different sections of the brain, and can very easily influence you emotions. The best part about music is that you can control how it makes you feel by choosing the type of music that you want to listen to. The emotion created by a piece of music may be affected by memories associated with the piece, by the environment it is being played in, by the mood of the person listening and their personality.

Several characteristics have been suggested that might influence the emotion of music. For example, major keys and rapid tempos cause happiness, minor keys and slow tempos cause sadness, and rapid tempos together with dissonance cause fear. Studies have shown that infants as young as 4 months old show negative reactions to these types of music.
 
Music can calm and revitalize us in ways that even a long nap could not.
 Try listening to classical music for a sense of power. Soft lullaby-like music to unwind. Medium-fast to fast selections for exercise and housecleaning.
 
Entertainment - At the most fundamental level music provides stimulation. It lifts the mood before going out, it passes the time while doing the washing up, it accompanies travelling, reading and surfing the web.
-Revival - Music revitalises in the morning and calms in the evening.
Strong sensation - Music can provide deep, thrilling emotional experiences, particularly while performing.
-Diversion - Music distracts the mind from unpleasant thoughts which can easily fill the silence.
-Discharge - Music matching deep moods can release emotions: purging and cleansing.
-Mental work - Music encourages daydreaming, sliding into old memories, exploring the past.
-Solace - Shared emotion, shared experience, a connection to someone lost.
These seven strategies all aim for two goals: controlling and improving mood. One of the beauties of music is it can accomplish more than one goal at a time. Uplifting music can divert, entertain and revive. Sad, soulful music can provide solace, encourage mental work and discharge emotions. The examples are endless. Music can also influence people on decisions that they make.
