Seems like our B-town starts very well know how music also acts as therapy, as proved by a study titled 'Music Therapy Perspectives'. According to the research, the brain releases dopamine while people listen to music. This promotes motivation, learning, and reward-seeking behavior. Thus, listening to music can create a great learning environment and build back damaged neural connections.
