Firstly, music can promotes wellness to people where it is address physical, emotional, cognitive, and social needs of individuals of all ages. It is also supported by research which showed that music effectiveness in a wide variety of healthcare and in person educational setting (American music therapy association). Music therapy can cause soothing effects and can relax a person’s mind and body. It is for this reason that music therapy is adopted as a secondary treatment along with traditional treatment for a particular disease. It is beneficial from many points of view. It too heals your mind, body, and soul. It helps you to relax and soothes your feelings. Not only that, but it doesn’t hurt.

Besides improve people health, it is improve and maintain people skill in music. That’s why some rock star where they no time to doing right exercise but they can maintain their health because we can see when they perform at the stage, they used all of their energy.
Studies have shown that making or listening to music can even lower blood pressure and heart and breathing rates. Those governed by the autonomic nervous system, such as breathing and heart rate can also be altered by the changes music can bring. This can mean slower breathing, slower heart rate, and an activation of the relaxation response, among other things. This is why music and music therapy can help counteract or prevent the damaging effects of chronic stress, greatly promoting not only relaxation, but health. But, according to Dr. Deforia Lane, director of music therapy at University Hospitals of Cleveland Ireland Cancer Center, music’s most precious contribution to individuals undergoing cancer treatment is how it can stir a person at the core, bringing out and honoring the real person behind the diagnosis and allowing for more freedom of self-expression (cancer consultant.org). Others, lowering blood pressure (which can also reduce the risk of stroke and other health problems over time), boost immunity, ease muscle tension, and more.
