1. Study

Music can improve your mood and help you feel more motivated to tackle important tasks, and it helped me to memorize my exam questions that might show up and to concentrate my vocab definition which was mainly for English or government class. It even helped me to memorize my equations formula for math class. There was this one song that had a rhythm of rap which led me to saying like f(b) minus f(a) over b minus a to the street. It sounds funny to me to memorize it but at least it helped me to concentrate.

2. Motivation

This is because music is able to increase stimulation, as there's a connection between auditory neurons and motor neurons. That's why music often makes us more mobile and motivates our body to move. Physical activity sparks mental activity; therefore, music fuels productivity and motivation. Through spiritual songs like church wise and other musical compositions, people are able to learn, become uplifted, motivated, and closer to their Truth. It can really help to inspire you to want to change the way you are living and move forward in a better way or simply just to relax and meditate.

3. Decrease Stress

If, you’ve ever belted out your favorite song then you know how good singing along to music can be for the soul. Sometimes it just feels necessary in order to push through a more difficult time. Singing along is a great way to release tension and make yourself feel good. For example, I sing the song “miss a thing” by Aerosmith. It helps me to wake up already and to let go of that stress I had built in that week and thanks to singing and listening to it helped to decrease that stress. In the image above music helps those to relax even with metal.

4. Career

Sometimes songs motivate teens to be singers or a songwriter. I do remember a friend of mine wanted to rap and as we speak he’s doing successful which is being an artist on Spotify. He explained to me before the whole pandemic lock down, happened that what made him do this career was this idol rapper by the name Eminem which is for showing that you could rap about your feelings and when my friend’s first song started it helped to change his life and to show others what he is going through.

5. Decrease Trauma

Studies like psychology explain that engagement with music is correlated with increased self-esteem and the reduction of feelings of worthlessness, particularly in younger populations. There was a time when a friend of mine lost her parents, and she almost wanted to end her life but as soon as she heard Vicente Fernandez a Latino singer that has his songs saved her and everyday she would listen to him to remember her parents and that she always remember that they are in heaven looking upon her spiritually which led her decrease trauma of the saddest day of her life.

6. Helps Behavior

Music helps people to change teens' emotions. It depends on the genre of the music like rap, RnB, rock, the list goes on. For example, I listen to rock music because it helps me to be energized for the day and would help me to be awake and active. For me, the guitar that they tend to play would light my day up. My morning song to wake up to is “Eye of the Tiger” and whenever I am still asleep and tired I tend to use this music to get my energy to boost up which is being active and being ready for the day.
