Music influences people in different ways or the same person differently at different times Music may seem to influence people differently That is because people can react differently to the music We are able to apply a choosing process to the music we hear If someone hates jazz, then a jazz piece with a positive effect will probably not make him feel good A happy song might appear to make an angry person angrier, yet it is not the music itself that is creating the anger; rather it is the positive effect of the music The angry person does not want to accept the song's happy feeling: it points out his already existing anger, and makes that anger come to the surface When a piece of music is played and we are listening to it, our body, mind, and feelings are being affected The musicians of ancient cultures such as China, India, Turkey and Greece understood the effects of music In fact, Pathagoras, in ancient Greece, introduced a whole science that concerned them Because the musicians of these ancient cultures understood these
effects, they created music that was positive, uplifting, and beneficial Once the effects of music
