The importance of music in our life

 Music is an art which improves the cerebral development and furthermore it improves skills such as the reading and the mathematics. It develops intelligence, the brain, hearing and sensorial organs. As this, it improves concentration, coordination, attention, the memory, interaction with people, language, as I have said before, Mathematics. You can also learn about the history of music.

In addition, music makes us to feel emotions and also it controls our mood. Music is like the "soundtrack” of our lives; we have favorite songs which remind us people and also it can remind moments that we want to keep forever.

The musical training for playing an instrument establishes neural connections that also improve other aspects of human communication. That is why children with musical training have better vocabulary and reading skills. It also explains why the musicians are better able at hearing conversations when there is background noise. 

Apart from that, music also has importance in the integration of people in society; it makes people express themselves in a different way because music helps to win autonomy and also makes us to look after ourselves. 

Of course, that music has different uses. The best form is to develop everything, as said before, by playing an instrument and studying how music is formed. Also listening to classic music and learning the basics of music develops some capacities a lot. Because of this, some pregnant mothers listen to classical music and some studies say that pregnant mothers that listen to that type of music have intelligent children.


Our feelings and our way of being is usually represented by the music we listen to. Music provides us calmness and happiness. It helps to clear our head when we have depression or an annoyance. Music is like a pleasure which makes us feel better, not only listening to music, but also dancing and singing. 

The musical preferences of each individual define their personality. Consequently, depending on our mood, we choose a different type of music just to listen to or maybe to dance or sing to. For example, when we are in love with someone, and in some moment we feel that love, we prefer to listen to romantic music. In a party or to celebrate something we look for music which motivates you or funny music. 

Of course, those those types of music can be very different. Romantic music is not the same than jazz, pop, rock or rap. For instance, people who prefer jazz and blues the most are likely to be intelligent, tolerant, liberal, an open to new experiences. The ones who prefer heavy metal are also intelligent, but they are curious, athletic and usually the heads of a social group. The features that prevail in people who prefer funky and hip-hop are extroversion, energy and a very high self-esteem. But this is just an example. 

In conclusion, the importance of studying music at schools is very high because makes children to develop some capacities needed in the day by day.

  1. I agree with you in all, because it is true that your music varies depending in the emotional state you are. But I have one point against it, some times when you hear music that you don't like makes you to feel stressed or even if the volume is too high.

  2. I like people that talk about the worth of music because with the new educational laws, it is true that music as a subject is being removed. Music has developed all through history like literature and wars, why studying that and not studying music? I think music is the most beautiful art because it provokes feelings and emotions, it helps foetus to develop (that is an incredible thing) and it can also be used to persuade people in a shop to buy more. We aren´t conscious of how important music is in our lifes and sometimes reading it in a post like this makes you think you aren´t the only one that admire music.

  3. It is really important to learn about music so that we are able to appreciate it in a better way. However, people have almost no knowledge about the classical musicians and they only listen to contemporary music. Nowadays, with the evolution and improvement of music devices, more and more people listen to music while walking, reading, studying... Nevertheless, sometimes people abuse too much of this and we lack something really simple: SILENCE.

  4. That´s true. There is a very wide brand of different music styles. Every types of music can be liked by everybody, however, nowadays, rock music is usually heared by teenagers and classical music by older people. Of course, that´s not totally true. Like in everything, there are also many exceptions.
    In our days, music forms part of stereotypes.
