feel more relaxed and less nervous. 2. For example, when we hear the national anthem (国歌), we will feel the same.
◆ 3.
A study by Stanford University in 2007 found that listening to music helps us to improve attention. For example, music by Mozart is believed to activate (激活) certain areas of the brain, therefore improving attention. This is called the “Mozart Effect”. The next time you prepare for work or study, why not listen to the music of Mozart?

◆ Learning music can develop creativity.
5. And the right brain is responsible for creative thinking. When we play musical instruments, we can express feelings by using our creativity. Also, some people can get inspiration from music to create fascinating dance works. The famous ballet Swan Lake was created by Tchaikovsky just under the influence of music.
