the positive effects of music.

The study of how music affects the mind has been a subject of interest for many. The interconnection between music and the physical and mental health of human beings has been researched for a long time.. Research has concluded that music does have positive effects on our mind. It has the power of healing certain ailments. Indian classical music has been found to have the strongest healing powers. Music has a calming effect on the mind. It is known to speed the recovery of health ailments. It helps fight anxiety and has a soothing effect on the brain.



My survey

Today i took a survey around my neighborhood to see what types of music people listen to and how it helps them with stress. More then half of the people said they use music therapy and they listen to classical music. Others said they do breathing exercises, quick bursts of exercise or just regular exercise, mini- meditation or regular  meditation, and etc.

my experiment # 2



I have completed my experiment and my hypothesis was correct. Classical music does lower blood pressure more than rock, pop or thew other genres of music. It makes you more calm then rock, because rock make me get a minor headache. And that doesn't help at all with stress.

my experiment #1


I have done research and they say that classical smooth relaxing music is the best type of music to keep your blood pressure low and to keep you calm and less stressed. I will be conducting this experiment.  I will take my blood pressure in the morning then listen to classical and rock music to see if classical music is really better for stress. My hypothesis is that classical music will be the one that lowers blood pressure more then rock, pop, or any other type and make you less stressed. At the end of the day i will take my blood pressure again to see how low it dropped and with one is more soothing. We shall find out.

music and stress



The soothing power of music is well-established. It has a unique link to our emotions, so can be an extremely effective stress management tool.
Listening to music can have a tremendously relaxing effect on our minds and bodies, especially slow, quiet classical music. This type of music can have a beneficial effect on our physiological functions, slowing the pulse and heart rate, lowering blood pressure, and decreasing the levels of stress hormones. As music can absorb our attention, it acts as a distraction at the same time it helps to explore emotions. This means it can be a great aid to meditation, helping to prevent the mind wandering.

Backgrounds on what music is

What is music? It’s what comes out of the speakers when we play a CD
on our stereo. It’s what we hear on the radio. Music is singers singing and
musicians playing. Music is a sound that we enjoy hearing. Is this a proper answer to the question “What is music?”?
If I asked “What is a car?”, you could answer by pointing at a large
object moving up the street and saying “It’s one of those.” But this may
not be a satisfactory answer. A full explanation of what a car is would
mention petrol, internal combustion engines, brakes, suspension, transmission
and other mechanical things that make a car go. And we don’t just want to
know what a car is; we also want to know what a car is for. An explanation
of what a car is for would include the facts that there are people and other
things (like shopping) inside cars and that the purpose of cars is to move
people and things from one place to another

what is music?



The problem with answering the question “What is music?” is understanding what would constitute a proper answer. Music arises
from human behaviour, and the study of human behaviour is part
of biology. So any question about music is a question about biology, and every question about biology requires an answer within
the framework of Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution by natural selection.

A little bit about me

My name is Sommer Saunders and some people say one word to describe me is crazy. My hobbies include watching t.v, playing video games, doodling in my notebooks even though him not that good, and eating  but most people know that. . In my family there is my dad Robert Saunders, my mom Sherri Saunders, and my sister Brianna. . Do any pets live with my family? Yes ,their names are Ollie and Lucky.  When I'm older I've always wanted to be a Nurse or a school teacher. I am fourteen and am single.I'm one of those people that can go from being really quiet to being really loud.  I'm OCD about certain things. I don't say bad words. I wish on 11:11 and still cross my fingers for good luck.
I make bad decisions and awkward situations very frequently. I love to listen to music and that's what my blog is about so enough about me more about music! c:
