Irrespective of the lingual, social, and cultural background of a person music never fails to strike the chord within. Words fall short in the description of this divine gift of God that the human race has been blessed with. A person who is averse to the effects of music is sometimes not even considered to be a human! Such is the power of music. It’s the uniting bond for the people. Be it happiness, sadness, anger, exasperation, love, friendship, madness music is for every occasion. It can be a man’s best friend when the whole world proves to be inadequate for him. Music can be the best companion at times when one seeks some peace of mind in tranquility.Music can also be healing. Many a times music lightens up a dampened mind. It’s almost therapeutic. Even plants and animals are sensitive to music. It has been proved that plants grow well when music is played in the vicinity. Even animals develop fondness for music. Music pacifies hyperactive minds. Music instills calmness in a person and the list can go on. The facets and the benefits of music are actually endless.
