How Does Music Change Your Mood?

Music is an integral part of human experience. It can literally enhance your mood and improve your overall well-being. We always feel stuck in some emotional state and feel powerless to change the emotions that we feel inside. Just hearing to your favorite music can bring you a sort of relief and energy.

When seasons change gradually, we could feel the changes in our mental state too. A good music can make us happy or sad. In recent years, scientific studies have confirmed the connection between music and mood.
