Is music a good tool for health?

    "Why waste money on psychoterapy when you can listen to the B minor mass?", Michael Torke. In the article "is music a good tool for health?" adapted from "how and why is music a good tool for health", Elizabeth Scott discuses the affect of music on people. According to her, scientific studies approved that music affects the body and mind in many ways. She also mentioned in her article that the field of health care is using music as therapy in hospitals because people who practice music therapy are finding a benefit in using music to help  patients.
    "Music can also be used to bring  more positive state of mind, helping to keep depression and anxiety under control", Elizabeth stated in her article. I strongly agree that music can bring benefits to the state of mind. I believe that all deep things are song. It seems somehow the very central essence of us. And that's why I always use music to exprime my self. In many times I send a song to someone who I want to tell something but I don't know how to say it. In this case, after the person listened to the song that I sent and got my feelings toward them, I can tell music is a tool that brings benefits to my mind. I also use music as a tool to help me get out of stree. I have a special song that seriously I every time am in a somewhat situation , I listen to that song and the state of my mind changes right after listening to it twice or trice. The funny thing that I used to hate that singer of that song, but suddenly I failed in love with his song and it's not about the music.
   In the article, it also mentioned that hospitals are using music therapy to help patients. I really believe in that. It's very true and most of us would agree with the author. I read an article about psycholoterapies who use music to treat their patients and I discovered that almost all of them find music a good tool for health and they all agree that it really helps them to control the state of mind of the patient. I also remember that couple of them stated that they especially use  a specific song that I know  'itsan arabic song". When I read that, I got curiouse and decided to listen to it. It was unbelaivaible, but it's true! that I felt really relax and fresh. I felt like I'm just taking a shower! Few months later, my aunt asked me to babysite her baby boy who was less than a year old. When I was trying to make his food ready, the boy was craying crasily. I feel so lost and didn't know what can i do for him. I meant, his food wasn't ready yet and I was doing my best to relax him. In that moment, I remembered that the psychoteraphy who use that song to calm their patients discovered that the same song can also calm babies. So I went to my computer and downlowded it. My little cousin kept craying and I gave up. I left him and  went to the kitchen to check his food since the music didnt't work. Here is the surprise, when I came back to him, he was calm, relax and smiling. I was like what? Is that mean the music calming him! It could be true since I tried it for me and now here it works for my little cousin too.
      I stongly believe that music affects our bodies and minds and also believe that life without music is a mistake.
