Do you find yourself tapping your foot while shopping? Or having all the feels while watching movies? No matter your race, ethnicity, age or gender, music is a common phenomenon that impacts everyone. Music can be a powerful tool with its ability to evoke strong emotional responses.

For example, music may lead to the release of dopamine, a feel-good neurotransmitter. Music is present in everyday life for most people. Here, we answer questions about how music can affect your brain and body.

Does Music Alter Moods and Relieve Stress?

The short answer is, yes! The Iso-principle is a tool that matches a music listening experience to a current mood or emotion and then gradually shifts to music that represents a desired mood or emotion. If you want to listen to a song that you pair with anger or sadness, go ahead, but don't let it repeat too many times. Move on to music of the mood you desire. A music playlist that gradually moves from uncomfortable emotions to comfortable ones can be a healthy coping strategy and facilitate a positive mood change.

What Emotions Can Music Make You Feel?

Music can validate your current emotional state and influence your emotional destination. Again, the Iso-principle can help us experience desired emotions. It works most effectively when we first find a song that matches our current feeling or mood. In music therapy, emotional regulation is frequently addressed. Music can elicit many, if not every, emotion. Knowing yourself and which music you pair with your emotions will improve self-regulation, or "feeling your feelings."

While culture, memories and associations influence music and emotions, Berkley found an overlap across cultures and compiled an interactive music map based on people's responses with 13 emotional dimensions that people in China and the United States self-reported. You can check Berkley's Interactive Music Map to find out what music makes you feel.

What Impact Does Music Have on Memory?

Music can help retain essential information despite memory loss. Music memory is stored in the hippocampus, centrally located in the brain. Therefore, music memories are less likely to be negatively impacted by age or disease.

A musical mnemonic device is a natural way to memorize and recall information. As children, we learn various academic and social concepts through songs. Similarly, these memory strategies are highly effective for adults. In fact, our brains automatically " fill in the gaps " when a song suddenly stops.

Music therapists often incorporate these techniques with individuals to improve memory retention or developmental learning goals. Music may activate memories and remind us of places, events or people. A familiar tune may elicit the emotions associated with those memories.

What Changes Does Music Have on Your Body?

Singing, playing instruments and even dancing can improve pain tolerance. Researchers found that the physical movement used to create music provides a synchronized activity that significantly heightens the pain threshold. Music therapists are specifically trained clinicians that use music to address goals such as pain reduction.

Because music is often an enjoyable activity, it can activate the release of endorphins, which creates a general feeling of well-being. Music therapy can successfully reduce post-operative pain, physical tension and influence heart and breathing rates. Fast music tends to increase pulse rate and blood pressure. Slow music tends to decrease pulse rate and blood pressure, as well as breathing rate.

How Does Music Affect Behavior?

Music can affect behavior by being a motivator, a timer for completing tasks or a mood enhancer. It may also impact our shopping habits.

Music is used in advertising to encourage brand recognition and create familiarity and positive association with various products.

Younger shoppers spend more time shopping when stores play instrumental music. Older shoppers spend more time shopping when there's music playing with lyrics. Baby boomers are likely to spend more money if classic rock is playing in a store. Generations older than baby boomers are less likely to spend money if any music is playing.

If you are buying wine for the holidays, be aware that classical music may make you feel comfortable spending a little more money than those top 40 hits.

Why Do We Enjoy Holiday Music?

Holiday music is a vehicle that communicates sacred and secular stories of the season. People may enjoy holiday music because pivotal cultural and traditional events are often intertwined. Music fosters community, remembrance and celebrations.

While many people have fond memories and traditions with holiday music, it is important to be mindful. Some people have equally painful memories associated with holiday music or songs.

Music Therapy

Music Therapists are trained clinical professionals that use music to accomplish physical, emotional, cognitive and social goals. There are music therapists at Tallahassee Memorial Healthcare in a variety of clinical settings and through classes. You can also search the Certification Board for Music Therapists' website to find a music therapist in your area.

NEW YORK - If picking a playlist was your first step when studying, you're more likely to have had a high GPA. A survey of 2,000 Americans looked at the tie between music and study habits and found those who play music were likelier to have a GPA above 3.2 than those studying in silence (84% vs. 78%).

Results showed that half of respondents recall regularly listening to music while studying (49%), and 60 percent were able to study better with something playing in the background.

Further, this percentage is likely to increase for younger students. Fifty-eight percent of 18 to 25-year-olds noted they listened to music while studying, compared to only 41 percent of 58 to 76-year-old respondents.

Can music increase productivity?

This trend appears to continue beyond the classroom and into the workplace. Currently, two in three Americans listen to music while working. Most of those respondents feel more productive at work while listening to music (89%), and many of those Americans say that it makes them look forward to working more (84%).

Of those that do listen to music while studying, 80 percent agree that it's therapeutic and three in four believe it helps them absorb information more. Similarly, 81 percent of those who listen to music while studying think it helps make their learning experience more enjoyable.

Respondents shared some of their favorite songs to study to, including "Riverside" by Agnes Obel, "Against the World" by Bob Seger, and "God's Plan" by Drake.

Conducted by OnePoll on behalf of CSU Global, the survey found that classical music (31%), R&B (28%), and country (28%) are among the top genres people would recommend for a productive study session. Also, some didn't just stop at music, citing nature sounds (30%), real-life sounds (26%), and podcasts (24%) as pleasant background noise when studying.

"There are a variety of platforms students can tap into to aid their studying habits, whether it's an instrumental music playlist on Spotify, a soothing meditation on Calm, or rain sounds on YouTube," says Dr. Christina Agvent, program director of teaching and learning at CSU Global, in a statement. "There is something out there to fit every student's preferences and study styles."

Should there be music in the classroom?

The survey also delved into the differences between those who enjoy listening to music while studying and those who don't. Of the two-thirds of respondents who said they were focused in school, the majority listened to music while studying (58%).

Those who listened to music while studying were also more likely to use mnemonic devices, notecards, or other creative tools to help them memorize information (52% vs. 36%). This may be why music listeners had an easier time taking tests (64% vs. 45%) and felt more prepared for class regularly (80% vs. 66%).

While the average person spent five and a half hours studying every week, those who enjoyed music were more likely to spend upwards of seven hours a week hitting the books. It's no surprise, then, that 58 percent of respondents agree that schools should consider allowing students to experiment with background music while studying to help improve their focus.

"Listening to music while studying can be an extremely helpful tool for some students in improving their focus," Dr. Agvent says. "I encourage all to explore different genres or other sounds to discover what may be the best fit for them in aiding their educational experience."
