Music Helps Alzheimer’s Patients Remember. A non-profit organization called Music and Memory helps people with Alzheimer’s Disease and other age-related dementias remember who they are by having them listen to their dearest songs. The awakening is often dramatic. For example, after Henry listens to music from his era, this wheelchair-bound dementia sufferer who can barely speak sings Cab Calloway songs and happily reminisces about his life .Dr. Laura Mosqueda, Director of Geriatrics at the University of California at the Irvine School of Medicine, explains that because music affects so many areas of the brain, it stimulates pathways that may still be healthy.

Improves Health. Listening to music you enjoy decreases levels of the stress hormone cortisol in your body,lower blood pressure, decrease heart rate,less anxiety and depression.Music also enhance the immunological responses which enable us to fight viruses.

Improves Recovery in Stroke Patients. Research at the University of Helsinki showed that stroke patients who listened to music they chose themselves for two hours a day had significantly improved recovery of cognitive function compared to those who listened to audio books or were given no listening material. Most of the music contained lyrics, which suggests that it’s the combination of music and voice that bolstered the patients’ auditory and verbal memory.

· Improves recall and retention of verbal information.

Musical training develops the region of the brain responsible for verbal memory—the recall and retention of spoken words—which serves as a foundation for retaining information in all academic subjects. Music students who were tested for verbal memory showed a superior recall for words as compared to non-music students (Ho et al., 1998; 2003)

·  Prepares the brain for achievement.

Complex math processes are more accessible to students who have studied music because the same parts of the brain used in processing math are strengthened through practice in music. For example, students who take music in middle school score significantly higher on algebra assessments in ninth grade than their non-music counterparts, as their brains are already accustomed to performing the processes used in complex math (Helmrich, 2010).

· Supports better study habits and self-esteem.

A study of music majors found that they felt more prepared for success in college than non-music majors. This readiness may be due to the music majors’ discipline and focus developed via intense practice and performance routines prior to college. These habits are typical of music students and may generalize to other academic areas and social/ emotional aspects of life, contributing to higher selfesteem and success (Chesky et al., 1997).

Boost the excitement. Brain will release dopamine, a good neutransmitter. A neuroscientist at McGill University, injected eight music-lover with a radioactive substance that binds to dopamin receptors after they listened to their favourite music. A pet scan showed that large amounts of dopamine were released, which biologically caused the participation to feel emotions like happiness.

Can improve motivation. Listen to fast -paced music motivates people to work harder. The researcher discovered that speeding up the tracks resulted in increased performance in term of distanced covered, speed pedalling, power exerted.Conversely, slowing down the music’s tempo led to decrease all these variable. State-of-the-art portable EEG technology was used in the present study.
Music up-regulated beta waves during a self-paced walking task.

Ability to create pieces of music
