25 Aug Music and Mental Health – Through the Lens – and Ears – of an Ethnomusicologist
ABSTRACT: Zaretti says the exciting part about music is there’s no “one size fits all” approach for how people experience it; therefore, the way people use music to process emotions is uniquely their own. For example, someone who’s upset might find it helpful to listen to soothing songs while another individual with the same feeling might require music opposite of that. To determine the types of music that help people to relax, feel productive, or a boost of energy, Zaretti says individuals can reflect on what they’re listening to and consider how different genres and styles of music affect or express their emotions.
