Music as a Sonic Prescription

Music has a calming effect and can regulate emotions. It has a profound impact on our sympathetic nervous system, which can activate our fight-or-flight response or calm us down. High-tempo songs can enhance physical performance by reducing perceived exertion. Personal preferences and nostalgic connections to certain music also play a role in our mood and well-being. Playing music in a group enhances social cohesion and synchronization, leading to positive emotional experiences and increased kindness.
