Why do people listen to music? The answer may seem simple: Music is pleasant to make and to hear. But music  (touch) our lives in many other ways, too.

    Music changes our mood

    My brother doesn't choose music based on what he wants to hear. Instead, he decides what he wants to feel and picks music with that mood in mind. Bright-sounding music (general) makes people feel happy.  some people enjoy listening to sad music, too. It can be like talking with a friend who understands your suffering. But for some people, sad music can make them feel even  (sad).

    Music helps us get things done

    you ever listen to music while you work? Yes, and I find that it sometimes helps me get focused. According to one expert, music can  (use) to help you pay attention during boring or repeated tasks. But when doing tasks  require more thought, mind can distract you making them harder.

    My mom, a preschool teacher, uses music (manage) her classroom. When she wants to call a child, instead of shouting at child's name, she sings it. This creates a more positive environment, while still getting his/ her attention.

    For most people, music is just one of their(hobby). But it is far more than just entertainment. It is a powerful force that affects us in many ways.
