                                 "Music is the art of thinking with sounds" Jules Combarieu 

Listening to music can have an affect on someone's mood. There are all different types of music genres that a person can choose from depending on how they are feeling. The good thing about music is it has a way of making people feel emotion, whether it is happy or sad. Rocking out to your favorite song can help release tension and make you feel better. After having a hard day at work, I blast the radio and sing along to songs I know and it makes me feel better. It is also nice to listen to songs that I can relate to and know that other people in the world are going through what I am going through. Music can be played in the car, while doing work if it does not distract you or when your parents ask you to clean your room. When studying for a test, think of your favorite song and keep the tune in your head. Replace the lyrics of the song with information on the particular subject. By doing this, it will allow you to memorize and learn your material while having fun with it.
