Everybody loves music. Whether it’s one genre or another that we
prefer, we can all agree that music is universal. What is it about
music that makes it so appealing to us? Maybe its because music has
the ability to evoke powerful emotional responses from within us.

feel something when we hear it. It might be a song played at your high
school graduation. Or maybe it’s a song that will always remind you of
a painful breakup.
can’t sleep, or go about your daily duties without Spotify playing in
the background? What you are feeling is more than just a quirk or a
personal preference. There is a scientific explanation for these
tendencies. Experts at the American Music Therapy Association believe

“hardwired,” to react the way that we do. The elements of music—such
as rhythm, melody, harmony, and dynamics—are echoed in our physiology,
functioning, and overall being.
