Music is good for the brain... and soul

Classical music or rock and roll or jazz is good for the soul. Music therapy is a frequently used tool for acquired brain injuries. Cognitive therapists use music for cognitive  remediation.(the action of remedying something). This is a process that is used frequently by therapists. Music provides rhythmic stimulation, and singing along is good for the speech. Listening to music can assist in distraction from pain and calming music for contributing to well being. The musical memory seems to be very resilient making it the form of memory that is most effervescent of all of the memories.
