Abstract
The influence of music on human emotions is a hotly studied topic due to the widespread recognition of the importance of the problem in Psychology. Unfortunately, the relationship between stress-reducing and music genres is little addressed due to the lack of studies. The essay aims to address the gap in knowledge by analyzing previous studies. The study indicates that different music genres have different levels of influence on the human stress system. Furthermore, the author confirms that listening to Classical Music can have a number of advantages for relaxation and stress-reducing through investigating and analyzing different existing studies and papers. This essay may help audience to better understand the positive effects of music on human body.
