In our daily lives, we often hear a variety of sounds and music through our ears. Some of these music can improve concentration, and some can soothe.moodand some can relieve stress, but have you ever thought about: Why can “external music” affect a person’s “inner emotions”?
Students who listen to classical music perform better
First of all, we can think about it first, what type of music can easily bring about high emotions? Similar to “Three Days and Three Nights” sung by Taiwanese singer Zhang Huimei in her concert, this high-pitched sound can easily raise emotions and make people feel “high”. On the contrary, songs and melodies with a gentle rhythm will make people’s emotions relatively stable.
Baylor University in the United States did a study on this and invited 50 college students, divided into two groups, to listen to Beethoven’s “Moonlight” Piano Sonata, Vivaldi’s “Spring” Violin Concerto, and Chopin in class. “Nocturne in E flat major”, and the other group played “White Noise” (that is, sounds that can be heard in daily life, such as water, fan sounds, etc.). The results found that students who listened to classical music performed better than their classmates. Even better, confirming that classical music is good for the brain.

A similar study was conducted at the University of Pisa in Italy and found that Mozart’s Piano Sonata No. 16 in C major can reduce the frequency of abnormal brain activity in epilepsy patients and reduce the number of epileptic seizures by at least 31% to 66%. Studies have pointed out that Mozart’s music has a unique rhythmic structure that can activate neuron networks, effectively stimulate brain nerves and reduce the frequency of epileptic seizures. Some people speculate that Mozart Sonata K448 has a unique rhythmic structure and long-term coherence, which can activate neuronal networks and evoke specific oscillation periodicity, effectively helping epilepsy patients fight epileptic seizures.
Others, including the United Kingdom and Taiwan, have several related studies proving that Mozart’s Sonata for Two Pianos in D Major K448 can indeed help stabilize the condition of epilepsy patients. Prior to this, scientists have found more than once that Mozart’s music can improve the health of listeners and even promote the development of fetal brains. In a scientific journal published in 1993, scientists called this phenomenon ” The Mozart Effect.”

The so-called “good medicine is played with the flute” shows that in ancient China, the history of using music to treat diseases has long been traced. Music is indeed a natural antidepressant, lifting our mood and helping us chase away sadness and anxiety. In addition, it also records the secrets of exploring the laws of the universe and the rhythm of life, such as “Heaven has five tones, and humans have five internal organs; heaven has six laws, and humans have six internal organs. This human being corresponds to heaven and earth”; “Diseases of the seven emotions, Looking at flowers relieves boredom, listening to music relieves sorrow, which is better than taking medicine.”
