The great Frank Zappa put it best when he said "Modern music is people who can't think signing artists who can't write songs to make records for people who can't hear".
Music can be found nearly anywhere, whether in the flowing of water, bustling of trees, knocks at the door and even in the waves of the ocean. Music can be created but it's difficult to destroy it. Music doesn't know any boundaries and everyone on this earth can connect to music in some way or another. Many studies have been done to find the affect of music on plants, pets and humans. The effect of music is not subtle, but can be easily seen almost instantly. Music has been used to cure people either by enhancing existing emotions or even changing the basic nature of a person. It is used for increasing productivity, decreasing anxiety and many other functions that it performs which go unnoticed most of the time.
Choosing music on your taste can be difficult - try something new like choosing music by thinking what you have to accomplish and how will you do it. If you choose music in this way, you would definitely feel the difference and will be benefited by the power of music. If you wish to do some work which requires active participation or something that consumes lot of mental energy, listen to music which is fast paced and more upbeat. Don't go for heavy metal or music with heavy beats as it will increase the productivity but will also increase the level of adrenaline and stress making it tough to accomplish a task.
If you are working in stressful conditions where physical work is not required and more concentration is required in the work, listen to music like jazz, something soft and soothing. Once you have your choice of music, you have to look for music from various sources.
