If you love listening to music, you are not alone! Just as the Greek myths and legends tell us the remarkable effects of music, we begin to understand the history of music – even back in the day. How it was an integral part of life. In fact, the Greek philosophers Plato and Aristotle began to study the relationship between music and the common good.

Plato goes on to say, “Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything.”

Is there a link between music and socialization?

Throughout history, music was a social activity. Before recordings were available, such as albums, cd’s, iPod, or radios – sharing records was not an option. Music was a social experience.

When performing music, such as singing, playing an instrument, or dancing with others – increased endorphins are released in the brain; therefore, we experience a social closeness.

For that reason, the next time you host a hot tub party crank up the music!
