Music seems to selectively activate neurochemical systems and brain structures associated with positive mood, emotion regulation, attention and memory”

Studies have shown that it can also reduce stress related hormones like “cortisol”

Once it is time to buckle down and concentrate, however—like when you need to read, write, or study your course materials, instrumental music and soothing genres can help you stay calm and focused” (Ashford University Staff).
