13. Music makes it easier to engage in social events.

Music is often used at social events, parties, weddings, and


concerts.

It provides the foundation for social activities which help to


bring people together and relate with one another.

By sharing the same interests and tastes in music, people


immediately have things in common.

This benefit is how we begin to form the first foundations of a


relationship. When there is common ground with our musical
choices and preferences, then it becomes easier to connect
socially with others.

On first dates, for example, where small talk can be awkward,


by talking about your tastes in music, your favorite bands or
singers, you will discover there is something you have in
common with the other person.

This benefit allows a conversation to progress forward.

You begin to get to know one another on a deeper level


because of the common ground you found in music.

Choirs and singing groups are excellent examples of how


music brings people together.

When singing as part of a group, and synchronizing with each


other, feelings of affiliation within these groups will increase,
and everyone can feel closer to one another than before.

#14. Music helps in the treatment of heart disease.

Heart disease is one of the biggest killers in the entire world.

Doing all that we can to help protect against it should be at


the top of our list of priorities.

Common side effects associated with heart disease include


stress and anxiety.
Studies have revealed that by listening to various forms of
music, anxiety, stress, and tension levels in patients being
treated for coronary heart disease dropped quite dramatically.

Blood pressure levels, which also play a key role in coronary


health, were also significantly reduced.

#15. Music can lift your emotional IQ levels.

Another exciting benefit that music has on our brains is that it


helps us to read other people effectively.

By listening to what people describe as “joyous” or


“encouraging” music in regular intervals, people are able to
identify facial expressions and body language associated with
feelings of happiness and other similar emotions.

When doing the same with sad and depressing pieces of


music, again, the same results were achieved, except this
time with negative expressions and body language.

Children with a diagnosis on the autism spectrum experience


some of the largest gains in emotional IQ improvement through
the use of music therapy.

This occurs because music stimulates both hemispheres of


the brain simultaneously.

Using this stimulation, specific communicative behaviors can


be taught.
