Music and Psycology

There are some very interesting new theories out in the world of psychology which are now attempting to like your taste in music to your personality. We have long known that music is an extension of who you are, but these theories tend to believe that there is much more to how music interacts with your personality.

In this theory, you would study your personality such as your emotional being, the way you react, the way you tend to think and then based on who you are identified to be, you can develop a music play list which will fit the personality that you identified.

Music psychology has been around for many many centuries. In ancient times when a king or royalty was especially agitated, the minstrels would come in and play light music (like the lute or a harp) to try to calm the emotions of the leader. This psychological link between music and the psyche continues to be explored more and more by scientists and corporations.

There is a common belief that unlocking the personality and then developing the music which will partner with that personality is another step in the fields of both psychology and music therapy.

Understanding what pieces and types of music will trigger reactions in the personality can be an additional tool in the field of conflict management, stress management and performance management.

There are already companies out there that are linking these two together and offering personality tests which they will then take and build a music play list for the customer. This growing field has only just begun.
