unmask and live for all our lives. The various genres of the music art exist in exponentially high numbers, resulting in the partaking of a copious array of actions. Heavy Metal and Rock have been studied at illustrious detail for its effects. Many fans, as the results show, have become reckless and violent from experience with the genre’s sound (Copley). The effects branch out to genres such as rap as well. Rap has been known to lead to violent crimes and images in young children to adults (Olson). Music does yet another assignment, carrying out its own actions. These actions specifically target the brain. From infancy to adulthood, music helps the brain develop. The effects it has on the brain vary depending on the age of the person (Slator). The scientific understanding of this development is that the music affects the infants by helping “neutrons in the brain form connections that may help to understand language” (Slator). Within adults already matured, music can lower blood pressure and regulate heart rates.
When one’s actions and perception formulate together, they form the personality that creates the person others will view each day. Every aspect is divided and eventually joined together. Important aspects such as mood and feeling are also ingredients added into the personality formula. “Music has been known to have a very direct effect on people’s mood” (Olson). To elaborate, mood is
vital in the way that others will view you. Their perspective is decided by this in an extensive way. Ultimately, your mood is decided by listening to the music that you like. Studies have linked heavy metal music back to individuals becoming aggressive or angry normally, but the same number of heavy metal fans have been completely unaffected negatively by this affair (Copley). Mood and feeling are directed by the brain, another object of the body affected in whole by music’s powerful abilities. Further research has shown results of musically inclined student’s brains developing differently from that of non-inclined students in the music arts. Because of this, those that have developed better mentally have shown better focus in class and at home (Seiff). Scientist’s studies on the effect of music on the mind and how it affects child growth and development have been successful in their results, especially with personality and its links. This will eventually lead to improved strategies in education and enhanced mental illness treatment (Seiff).
