The Benefits of Listening to Music

Music connects us as analysts think that one of the most vital functions of music is to create a feeling of cohesion or social connectedness. Researchers also say that human beings may have created a dependence on music as a communication 

tool since our ancestors descended from arboreal species.

​

Music is a powerful way of uniting people, and it comes in totally different ways and beats, like: 

• national anthems connect crowds at sporting events

• protest songs stir a sense of shared purpose during marches

• hymns build group identity in houses of worship

• love songs help prospective partners bond during courtship

• lullabies enable parents and infants to develop secure attachments
