2. INTRODUCTION
 Music is an art, entertainment, pleasure, and
medicine for the body and soul. Playing music is
one of the few activities that involve using the whole
brain. Music is intrinsic to all cultures and has
surprising benefits not only for learning language,
improving memory and focusing attention, but also
for physical coordination and development.

3. MUSIC AND MOOD
 Modern research supports conventional wisdom that
music benefits mood and confidence. Because of our
unique experiences, we develop different musical tastes
and preferences. Despite these differences, there are
some common responses to music. Certain kinds of
music make almost everyone feel worse, even when
someone says she enjoys it; that pop, rock, oldies, and
classical music helped them feel happier and more
optimistic, friendly, relaxed, and calm.

4. MUSIC, ATTENTION AND
LEARNING
 It is easier to memorize a list if it is set to music. Scientific
research supports common experience that pairing music
with rhythm and pitch enhances learning and recall.
Music helps children and adolescents with attention
problems in several ways.

5. MUSIC AND SLEEP
 Many people listen to soothing music to help them fall
asleep. Conversely, if you’re trying to wake up in the
morning, go for the fast-tempo music rather than
lullabies.

6. STRESS, ANXIETY AND
DEPRESSION
 Ancient philosophers from Plato to Confucius believed
that music can help soothe stress. Nowadays, it has
been proved that music, widely chosen, lowers stress
hormone levels. Calming music can be combined with
cognitive therapy to lower anxiety even more effectively
than conventional therapy alone. Music has proven
useful in helping patients with depression.

7. MUSIC AND MEMORY LOSS
 For many people suffering from memory loss the
spoken language has become meaningless. Music
can help patients remember tunes or songs and get
in touch with their history. This is because the part
of the brain which processes music is located next
to memory. Research shows that people with
memory loss respond best to music of their choice.

8. MUSIC: MEDICINE FOR THE HEART
 Music is good for your heart also. In this case, benefits
come not from music style, but it's tempo. Italian and
British researchers recruited young men and women, half
of whom were trained musicians. The participants
listened to six styles of music in headphones, including
rap and classical pieces, with random two-minute
pauses. As the participants listened to the music, the
researchers monitored their breathing, heart rates and
blood pressure. Heart and breathing rates were faster
when they listened to lively music. And when the musical
slowed, so did their heart and breathing rates.

9. MUSIC BOOSTS IMMUNITY
 Music can boost the immune function. Scientists
explain that a particular type of music can create a
positive and profound emotional experience This
helps contribute to a reduction in the factors
responsible for illness. Listening to music or singing
can also decrease levels of stress-related hormone
cortical.

10. MUSIC TYPES
 Jazz :Jazz is a music genre that originated in
the African-American communities of New Orleans,
United States, in the late 19th and early 20th centuries,
and developed from roots in blues and ragtime. Jazz is
seen by many as 'America's classical music'. Charles
Mingus
Blues : Blues is a music genre and musical
form originated by African Americans in the Deep
South of the United States around the end of the 19th
century. The genre developed from roots in African
musical traditions, African-American work
songs, spirituals, and the folk music of white Americans
of European heritage. Kenny Wayne Shepherdn

11.  Spirituals :Spirituals are generally Christian songs
that were created by African Americans. Spirituals
were originally an oral tradition that imparted
Christian values while also describing the hardships
of slavery. Although spirituals were originally
unaccompanied monophonic songs, they are best
known today in harmonized choral arrangements.
This historic group of uniquely American songs is
now recognized as a distinct genre of music.
Pop : Pop music is a genre of popular music that
originated in its modern form in the United States
and United Kingdom during the mid-1950s.The
terms "popular music" and "pop music" are often
used interchangeably, although the former describes
all music that is popular and includes many different
styles. Michael Jackson

12. Rock : Rock music is a broad genre of popular
music that originated as "rock and roll" in the United
States in the early 1950s, and developed into a range of
different styles in the 1960s and later, particularly in the
United Kingdom and in the United States. It has its roots
in 1940s and 1950s rock and roll, a style which drew
heavily on the African-American genres
of blues and rhythm and blues, and from country music.
Bob Dylan
Latin : Latin music (música
latina in Spanish and Portuguese) is a genre that is used
by the music industry as a catch-all term for any music
that comes from Spanish. "Latin music" as any recording
sung mostly in Spanish regardless of its genre or the
artist's nationality. Larry Harlow

13.  Metal : Heavy metal (or simply metal) is a genre of rock
music that developed in the late 1960s and early 1970s, largely in
the United Kingdom. With roots in blues
rock and psychedelic/acid rock, the bands that created heavy
metal developed a thick, massive sound, characterized by highly
amplified distortion, extended guitar solos, emphatic beats, and
overall loudness. Led Zeppelin
 Funk : Funk is a music genre that originated in the mid-
1960s when African American musicians created a rhythmic,
danceable new form of music through a mixture of soul
music, jazz, and rhythm and blues (R&B). Funk de-emphasizes
melody and chord progressions used in other related genres and
brings a strong rhythmic groove of a bass line played by
an electric bassist and a drum part played by a drummer to the
foreground. Like much of African-inspired music, funk typically
consists of a complex groove with rhythm instruments playing
interlocking grooves. Jimmy Hendrix

14.  Country : Country is a musical genre that originated in
the southern United States in the early 1920s. Country
music often consists of ballads and dance tunes with
generally simple forms, folk lyric and harmonies
accompanied by mostly string instruments such as banjos,
electric and acoustic guitars, steel guitars, and fiddles as
well as harmonicas. Blues modes have been used
extensively throughout its recorded history. Bob Wills
 Hip-Hop and Rap : Hip hop music, also called hip-
hop or rap music, is a music genre developed in the United
States by inner-city African Americans in the 1970s which
consists of a stylized rhythmic music that commonly
accompanies rapping, a rhythmic and rhyming speech that
is chanted. It developed as part of hip hop culture,
a subculture defined by four key stylistic
elements: MCing/rapping, DJing/scratching with
turntables, break dancing, and graffiti writing. Eminem 2pac
