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 are better understood,
the next step is to gain a better understanding of the music around us, and what effect
it is actually having.
