Abstract:
This research project aims to explore the influence of music on emotional well-being and mental health. Music has long been recognized as a powerful medium that can evoke various emotions and impact our psychological state. The objective of this study is to examine the mechanisms through which music affects emotional well-being and mental health, as well as to identify potential therapeutic applications. By conducting a comprehensive literature review, analyzing empirical studies, and gathering qualitative data through interviews and surveys, this research project seeks to provide valuable insights into the role of music in promoting emotional well-being and mental health. The findings of this study can contribute to the development of music-based interventions and therapies for individuals experiencing emotional and mental health challenges.
