While it no longer dominates the music scene, the argument for continued appreciation of the genre goes far beyond pure aural aesthetics. Classical music has been lauded for its ability to do everything from improve intelligence to reduce stress, and despite some exaggeration of its benefits, science shows us that it actually does have a marked effect on the brain in a number of positive ways.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit;\">Our favorite effect is how emotional expression in music and speech affect the brain similarly. Music imitates the tonal characteristics of emotions relayed through voice, which taps into our innate communicative abilities. That\u2019s why music can cause a stir in your senses through its different instruments, modes and melodies \u2013 and this applies to music of all genres and cultures around the world.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit;\">Get a taste of Melanie\u2019s article through the infographic above, and find out what the 15 effects of classical music to the brain are by reading all about it\u00a0<span style=\"font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit;\"><a style=\"font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; color: #4fb1e7;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.onlinephdprograms.com\/15-studied-effects-of-classical-music-on-your-brain\/\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit;\">\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"about-author-wrapper\" style=\"font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit;\">\n<div class=\"about-author-avartar\" style=\"font-weight: normal; color: #000000;\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"about-author-info\" style=\"font-weight: normal; color: #000000;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Music is a moral law.
