for me, I love it and I can't live with it. I enjoy teaching it as well as studying it.

Music helps with your mood and relaxes you and puts you in good spirits and helps with your blood pressure and general  well being..

It's found in yourself.  You have to listen and be a top notch listener...  and this listening is not done with your ears...it's done with your heart, your soul, and the joy you will spread to other listeners that will feel your message.  Start with understanding how sound affects mood.  Create songs with songwriting instruments that are made for the task of full staff composing (stringed or piped) ... ie piano, organ, (keyboards and fretboards).  For tempo start with your heart... your heart beat as the percussion..bu bumm - bu bumm - bu bumm and take educational courses that interest your creativity and ability to communicate musically with others and yourself....listen.

I have that problem too.  By the way, it need not destroy your future.  I'm about to finish my Ph.D., and while this problem can be challenging, there are techniques to help control it.\n\nThe most important thing is to not condemn yourself because of it.  Recognize this as one challenge you must overcome, but do not let it overwhelm you.  \n\nI've found background music to be helpful. It allows your mind to be fully occupied, without distracting too much from your studies.  I prefer classical music, but any instrumental music should be ok.  I've found that music with lyrics can be too distracting, but if it is just instrumental, it balances well.\n\nBest of luck to you.

Yeah, that happens to me...if a song makes me sad about a person and I don't want to be, I just turn the radio/song off. I definitely think certain songs can bring out your emotions for someone, past or present.

The brain controls the body's rhythms.  Music is a rhythm.  That is why most soothing music generally corresponds to about the beat of the human heart (60-70 beats per minute).  And why music with a faster beat and well defined rhythm makes you want to dance.

Great Question Coastal\nOur brain attempts to process every single sensory event in our lives on a continual 24 hour a day basis. \n\nWe tend to like music better than most regular sounds because regular sounds tend to be non patterned and hard to identify, catagorize and process. Music is usually rythmic and patterned, which is easier for our brains to identify and process.\nSome music is easier for your brain to process than others because the notes exist at a frequency that is easy for your brain to recognize and transfer through its "pipeline".\nMusic is a very personal experience because the atomic processing systems of each person is unique. \nCertain frequencies will affect each person differently.\n\nThere are many other factors involved in music being deemed enjoyable, such as associative relationships. (what was happening to you while the music played, what memories are evoked while the song is playing. etc..)\n\nScientifically speaking, our Physical sense of pleasure from music, without taking into account any other factors, will be the result of the compatibilty of our processing system with the frequency being processed.  (What frequencies of energy, or combination of frequencies of energy, are easiest, or most satisfying for our existing energy sensing system to process.) \n\nExample-1\nToo much heat energy through our touch sensory system in our fingers will cause the atoms in our fingers to absorb too much energy and swell, possibly to destructive levels. We perceive this as a burn. Some people however can handle much more heat energy than others before feeling pain.\n\nExample-2\nToo much audio energy at an uncumfortable level,(air horn siren), will do the same thing to the atoms that transfer the sound energy after it is converted to electrical signal. \nEvery person has an optimal range of audio energy processing that is different from everyone else. We tend to listen to the \ntype of energy that is the easiest for us to process.\n\nAnimals can probably appreciate the difference between soothing comforting energy levels and assaultive painful ones.\n\nA lot of info, but I hope this helps.\nKeep asking the good questions.

I think changes in music affect society.

Agreed.  Life does have it's own background music.  Unique for each person, but only audible if one is wise enough to stop and listen to it.  My life music for today would be "The Scientist" followed by "Don't Panic" both by Coldplay.

depends on what you're doing. it does help when you're working on things that take logic, such as math. the music opens a passage in your brain, which allows you to think more clearly.

yes. this is due to the changes of hormone in our body which lead to mood swings. thats y our music taste changes according to our mood.

Most people say they appreciate music.\n\nBut I'd say that fewer than 10 percent actually do.  For many people, it's just background or sentiment tied to a particular period in their life.

I suppose depending on the song and the youth it might. However, there are plenty of other genres of music that could infact have a negative influence on youth.
