​Do you know that the oldest musical instrument in the world is 43,000 years old and it is a flute made of mammoth ivory?
While listening to your favourite song, have you ever felt goosebumps? Listening to music can release a feel-good chemical in your brain called ​dopamine ​​​​and creates the same happy feeling you get after having fun with friends or engaging in exercise.

What music does to your mood

​​​​Music is a great way to express how you feel and lift your mood whether it's blues, pop, jazz, classical, rap, reggae or rock. Rock music can get you dancing, jazz music helps you to chill out. Reggae makes you relaxed and classical makes you feel excited and transports you to a different realm. Music has no rights or wrong! What counts is how it makes you feel.

Why is music important?

​​​​​​​​People celebrate special occasions like religious festivals, sport events and birthdays but it is hard to imagine a world without music. You can enjoy making music as part of a huge crowd or on your own. When you play or sing music in a group, it can help you feel connected to other people.

​Music calms our mind and recharges our soul. Being involved in music fires up our imagination and fuels our creativity in a way that nothing else does.

How to be mindful with music

​​​​Getting more music in your life can be easy as playing a musical instrument, singing in the shower or turning on the radio. You don't need any tutorial to enjoy music! Listen to different styles and discover what you like most.
