Music the Universal Language of Mankind

The dictionary defines music as “the arrangement of sounds made by the instruments or voices in a way that is pleasant or exciting”.

But in fact music is a much more complicated notion.

Music isn’t a combination of pleasant sounds only.

It is the art that reflects life.

Moreover, it makes them feel a part of global family.

It should be mentioned that the society has become much more tolerant to hard rock, heavy metal and space rock music. Nowadays it’s almost impossible to escape from music, even if we want to.

Certain types of music will have a particular effect on us, regardless of whether we ‘like’ them or not.

For instance, some music will help us feel relaxed and peaceful, whereas other types may be stimulating to the brain, encouraging curiosity and alertness.

Some music promotes loving feelings.

Other sounds whip up hate, jealousy, and violence.

as a result, music in being used in hospitals, and doctors have found that twenty minutes of soothing music is often far more effective than tranquilizers and sleeping pills.
