Reducing pain and anxiety, lowering blood pressure, fighting insomnia, increasing and awakening emotions, helping the development of children’s brains and even babies, and calming nerves are some of the reasons to listen to classical music. The health benefits have been proven by several scientific researches.
A Stanford University study entitled The Advantages of Listening to Music: Response and Connectivity of the Mesolithic System found that listening to classical music produces psychological benefits. The results of the research pointed out that listening to music increases blood flow in several areas of the brain, activating areas linked to autonomy, cognition and emotion, while other areas release dopamine.
