According to the passage, “Is Music a Good Tool for Health?,” adapted from “How and Why is Music a Good Tool for Health?,” by Elizabeth Scoot, shows that music has a deep cause on your body and  mind. Music therapy is a wide way of health care. The passage shows two different research of how music can affect and help our health. Music with strong beat can provoke brainwaves to synchronize with the beats. In addition, breathing and heart rate can bring changes by the music. Also, music has a profound power on helping people to control and maintain depression and anxiety problems. I agree with the author that “the music can help us to fight with some mental and health problems.”

Music therapy can help to solve or control health problems. Doctors are trying to develop the benefits when using music as a therapy such as cancer patients, kids who do not know how to pay attention. Hospitals realized that music therapy is a wise way to help people with some problems like depression. I also believe that people can transmit their feeling throughout the music. I heard a new in my country, which is the Dominican Republic, that doctor should not have music with strong beats in their offices, because this kind of music is a damaging problem for their mind, excited them and can be a littler noise. They said that doctor should have music that kind of music like Jazz. In other words, music does interfere a lot in our mind and in the way we feel.

Faster and slower beats affects our seven senses. As the author says the faster beats can induce in our concentration and more alert thinking. However, the slower beats can bring you calm and a relaxing moment. Referring to the faster beats, in the mornings, when I get into the train and I put my iPod on, I usually listen some kind of music that wake me up such as Regueton. I will be more active when I listen to these kinds of music. On the other hand, when a listen soft and slow songs I fall asleep.

Music therapy is a good way for our health. I believe that if we think about it, we will find this affective. For example, some people use to listen slow music when they are sad or depressing unknowing that listen those kind of music can remember them the reasons of why they are sad. When I am sad, I use to listening faster music and funny music that make me forget about why I was sad.

In conclusion, music can infer and help us to control and prevent some mental and health problem. People have discovered in many ways how to help another people with their health and one of those is music. And as I see professionals in the subject have been using these methods, probably because it works.
