The Journal of Positive Psychology conducted a study in 2013 that found that people who listened to upbeat music could improve their moods and boost happiness in just two weeks.

During the study, participants were instructed to try to improve their mood, but only found success when they listened to the upbeat music of Copland instead of the sadder tunes of Stravinsky.

The American Music Therapy Association reports that music therapy programs can be designed to manage stress, enhance memory, and alleviate pain.

It's surprising at first to hear that music can help people deal with physical pain, but the research backs it up.

The people who listened to music didn't need as much pain medication.

The study was extensive; researchers looked at data from 73 different trials involving more than 7,000 patients.

The people with a more significant reduction in pain, with less of a need for pain medications, got to pick their own music.

Music Boosts Our Moods

Researchers from the U.K. found that a unique orchestra for people with dementia helped improve their mood and boost their self-confidence.

The orchestra is one of several research projects done by the Bournemouth University Dementia Institute that demonstrate that people with dementia can still have fun and learn new skills.

Eight people with dementia, along with several caregivers, participated in the project, along with students and professional musicians.

Music Changes The Way We Perceive The World

In experiments where people looked at a happy face or a sad face, the music they listened to affected how they perceived it. It influenced what they saw.

If you were listening to happy music, a more neutral face was more likely to be viewed as happy, and vice versa.
