Memory is a mental system that receives, stores, organized, alters and recovers information from sensory input. Memory is affected by many different factors, one of these factors is music which stimulates parts of the brain. Music reduces stress, aid relaxation, alleviate depression and help store and recall information . Recalling is improved partly due to the effect music has on increasing the release of certain hormones in the body.
Music is one of the few activities that involves using the whole brain. It is intrinsic to all cultures and can have surprising benefits not only for learning language, improving memory and focusing attention, but also for physical coordination and development. Of course, music can be distracting if it's too loud or too jarring, or if it competes for our attention with what we're trying to do. But for the most part, exposure to many kinds of music has beneficial effects:
Music heals
Music gives a patient a sense of control, causes the body to release endorphins to counteract pain and slow music relaxes a person by slowing their breathing and heartbeat. Nursing homes often hire music therapists. People are likely to feel depressed and grief-stricken when moved away from their homes and families into a facility for strangers to take care of them. Music therapy helps to relieve grief and improve emotional tones and feelings. Music can also boost the immune function.
Music even makes you smarter
Listening to music or playing an instrument can actually make you learn better. Listening to music facilitates the recall of information. Information learned while listening to a particular song can often be recalled simply by "playing" the songs mentally. Children who take music lessons develop a better memory compared with children who have no musical training.
Music improves physical performance
Choosing music that motivates you will make it easier to start moving, walking, dancing, or any other type of exercise that you enjoy. Music can make exercise feel more like recreation and less like work. Furthermore, music enhances athletic performance, it reduces muscle tension and improves body movement and coordination. It also plays an important role in developing, maintaining and restoring physical functioning in the rehabilitation of persons with movement disorders.
