Music plays an important role in our daily lives. It would be impossible for a day to go without music. Music serves many
functions within our society: it is used to entertain, relax, motivate, persuade, teach, treat diseases, unite, promote patriotism
and so on.
Advertisers are fully aware of the role that music can play in entering the mind of the consumers. For example, the most
effective way to aid the memory of the consumers is to accompany an advertisement with an interesting song. Once the
consumers like that song, they might remember the brand name of the advertised product as well and they will choose that
product while standing in front of a shelf full of goods of different brand names.
Music at special occasions is essential. At the Olympic sports events, it is interesting to observe how music is played.
Entertainment is an obvious function, but further, music at such events helps create an exciting atmosphere. The use of national
anthems is to promote the feelings of patriotism, thus encouraging the athletes to make greater efforts.
Music can also be used as means of treating some patients. It soothes the nerves of patients with mental disorder. For those
with visual impairments, playing music is one way to help them open their hearts to the outside world. Obviously, music has a
profound and powerful impact on our lives.
