Music is not something which is tangible, but yet is has been loved and cherished by many for a very long time because of the unique pleasure that it grants. Music has the ability to bring together many people of all ages. There are so many different ways to create and listen to music that everyone has access to music in some way, shape, or form. Many songs are written and created using repetition with the intent to get them stuck in your head. That feeling when you have a song stuck in your head and it is repeating over and over again, is known as an ear worm.
From my experience, this form of listening is especially prominent if music is a major part in the person’s life. For example, I am in choir, and I have noticed that because singing is a big part of my everyday routine, I can easily notice the details in music, and sometimes even mistakes. Like Copland mentions in “How We Listen”, intelligent and educated listeners are constantly aware of harmonies, rhythms, melodies, tone colors, key changes, and notes, just to name a few musical devices. This type of listening simply depends on a person’s musical education and
Musicians are “great problem solvers in school and social situations” because they have a stronger corpus callosum, the part of the brain that connects the two halves.(Berman) When an outsider joins band their minds are opened into a whole new world. This is because when a person is making music there is not only one place in the brain that is being activated. A musician is using parts of the brain that have to do with the visual, auditory, and motor functions of the brain. People who play a musical instrument are working multiple parts of their brain at once making it easier for them to remember information more.
Also thrown in with the music are scales, which are hammered into your brain from the minute you pick up your instrument to the day you come to your senses and abandon
Brad Whitford studied trumpet and started playing guitar at a young age and he was taught a lot about music (Anjou,2002).

“[Theta brain waves brought about by jazz music] inspire new insights and solutions to unresolved problems (“Eureka!” moments)” (Top Masters in Healthcare Administration 1). This music allows brain to look at problems in different ways. This means that people can understand situations and people better. “Learning jazz may be the ultimate in training young minds to think critically and creatively” (Klemm 1).
Once we start to listen a music we can not leave it maybe we become fun of it or we do not like it. We as human beings powerfully hinge on music and it enthrals us. Music has become an indispensable part of our lives. Through this way we are affected by music both psychologically and physically. I found some resources to prove and support my ideas.
In our present day and age many people now listen to music while doing a number of various activities. There is a big debate whether listening to music benefits you and helps you to concentrate and focus especially while studying. I researched whether listening to music helps you concentrate and focus. Listening to music is one of the only activities which involve using both sides of the brain. When concentrating on a specific task you are normally only using one part of your brain while concentrating so the other parts of your brain that is unoccupied drifts off which causes you to lose concentration.
As we have seen, syncopation is largely used by almost all instruments to create the right groove of a song, to give a specific feeling of a music genre. We can argue then some degree of syncopation in a piece of music contributes to build groove, as it is a way to create musical tension and a sort of violation of expectations that makes music more pleasant. This is demonstrated in a web-based survey conducted by Witek et al. (2014), where sixty-six participants were asked to listen to 50 drum-breaks with different degrees of syncopation.
Science has always tried to explain music, to tell us why and how it affects us so. The idea of the “Mozart Effect” have tested science to the best of its ability to comprehend how music affects the brain’s mental capacity to perform better in academics. The “Mozart Effect”
