Why is music important for us? ( ENSINUS ETP/INETE)

 Why is music important for us?

Music, a combination of rhythm, harmony and melody, in a manner pleasing to the ear, which may or may not contain lyrics. It is very important for our lives, there are people who cannot live without music, they listen to it from the time they wake up to the time they go to bed. But why is music so important to us? It is so present in our daily lives, something that is part of us, but almost certainly most people have never stopped to think about it.

In this way, music is important for many things, some of which can be explained by researchers, where they say that music develops the human mind, it provides us with a pleasant state of well-being, penetrating directly into our nerve centres. We can also say that music has a healing power, it is linked to our memories and remembrances.

The effect of the same song can be different to each person, as this depends on your relationship with that song or the interpretation you may have of the lyrics. There are some emotions that are universal, which are related to some styles of music.

So, as we can see music has effects on our bodies, these effects can vary, or not, from person to person, moreover it brings us many benefits. But it is very difficult to say why music is important for us, because for each person it will have a meaning and an importance.
