There is no doubt that one of the main strengths of music is the evocative one, because the melodies revive and revive the memory of situations or people who are no longer there, and touch our hearts, and also leave room for dreams not yet fulfilled, according to the “nospensees” website.
According to the site, music is inspiration, fascination and beauty. It is present, in one way or another, in everyone’s life. Its origin is unknown, but it has been shown by research and inference that the earliest melodies were produced by using the body itself as a percussion instrument and by reciting the rhythms out loud.
Music was born at the same time as language. In the beginning tools such as bones and stones were used to produce sound. Later, drums made from natural materials, such as coconut shell, appeared. And later came stringed instruments, and finally wind instruments.
Music is present in all societies on the planet and at all times. Traditional songs were handed down orally from generation to generation. It was only in the 10th century that Guido d’Arezzo devised a musical writing system. This range was later extended by Ugolino de Forli, and thanks to this achievement the music was able to transcend time. Let’s see other musical secrets.
It is not easy to establish who was the greatest composer of all time. However, according to most experts, the greatest composer is Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. He has been cataloged in this way because he elevated the musical instruments of his time to the highest level of expression. It is believed that all the music that followed this genius bears some influence of the musical genius of Mozart.
What is the hardest instrument to play? Many might think the piano, but it’s not. The instrument that requires the most talent is the violin, because playing it requires a lot of precision in handling the bow and in the position of the fingers for the sounds to be coherent. Any slight defect in one of these elements generates a sharp and annoying sound. The opposite happens with the harp, from which it is practically impossible for the music not to come out.
Another strange musical secret comes from famous singer Tina Turner, as Gloucestershire Airport in England uses her songs to scare away birds. These songs seem to have a very strong effect in scaring away crows and seagulls in particular. Airport workers don’t know why this happened, but no one denies the impact of these songs.

And as if all this were not enough, the data indicate that music also has a very positive effect on brain health, as it stimulates many areas of the brain associated with movement, memory and mood, as this effect translates into a reduction of the level of psychological stress, mental stimulation and an improvement in memory and memory quality Sleep better.
