Music is listened to for a variety of reasons, mainly for entertainment when boredom creeps in during a car ride or________. While people listen to music, they often overlook what the lyrics mean because they are distracted by an appealing rhythm.

Some people listen to music to relax the mind and soul, some do it just for the rhythm of the beat but others take a more deeper meaning to music.

Music is essential to every person’s life and seems to be involved in every activity of a child’s life from the moment they wake until they go to bed. Recent studies have shown that music (listening and playing instruments) have many impacts on children, especially in early stages of development of the child’s “body, brain, and their emotion foundations that support us for the rest of our lives” (Borgese, n.d.).
