Music affects the body physically by impacting things like respiration and blood pressure, and mentally by influencing emotions. It has many styles and can be listened to in various ways. Music therapy uses music's physical, emotional, and social aspects to help maintain or improve health conditions. Musical instruments allow musicians to create music in different ways.
