How does music help us cope with stress?

Stress is one of the major problems of our time. One of the most effective ways we can deal with it is through the impact that music has on us. Pieces with a faster tempo help the brain concentrate and sharpen our reasoning, while slower tracks calm the mind and drown out the never-ending stream of anxious thoughts. Music affects our bodies on a biochemical level. It affects dopamine, DHEA-S, cortisol and other hormone levels. It affects heart rate, respiration and blood pressure. Through music we can regulate not only our stress, but also our energy, vitality and concentration.
