Music can improve your mood

listen to music as a family

Music can make you and your family happy. Music plays an important role in the relationship between arousal and mood. Music helps people to have a better mood and to be more self-aware. They are the two most important functions of music.

Also, intentionally trying to improve your mood by listening to positive music could have an impact in two weeks. In one study, participants were instructed to try to improve their mood by listening to positive music every day for two weeks.

Other participants listened to music but were not intentionally directed to be happier. When participants were later asked to describe their own happiness levels, those who intentionally tried to improve their mood reported feeling happier after just two weeks.

Music may reduce symptoms of depression

Music therapy can be a safe and effective treatment for a variety of disorders, including depression. A study that appeared in the World Journal of Psychiatry found that, in addition to reducing depression and anxiety in patients suffering from neurological conditions such as dementia, stroke, and Parkinson's disease, music therapy showed no negative side effects, meaning it is very safe.

Another study  found that while music can certainly have an impact on mood, the type of music is also important. The researchers found that classical music and meditation offered the greatest mood-enhancing benefits, while heavy metal and techno music were ineffective and even harmful.

So if you want the music to improve the mood of your family, you will have to choose some good compositions.
