In addition to music improving emotional well-being, a review of studies by Bradt & Dileo (2009) found music can also yield physical benefits, such as, reducing blood pressure, heart rate, and anxiety in heart disease patient. Aside from listening to music, a 2013 Finnish study including 1,000 students found that those who attended singing classes reported higher satisfaction at school in almost every area. Though research shows improved emotional and physical well-being by listening to happy music, try it out for yourself! Incorporating music into your daily life can be done in multiple ways. Here are just a few: listening to music while driving somewhere, playing music while working out, or joining a music group (e.g., band or choir).
