This book is about links between music and health. It focuses on
music and public health, and, in particular, the potentially
positive and negative effects of listening to and making music on
the health of the general population. The book starts out by
discussing the protection music offers against adverse effects of
stress. It then discusses social aspects of music production and
listening and examines religious music within the framework of
social functioning. It offers insight into the physiological and
psychological effects of music listening, the biological effects of
singing, and the use of music in therapeutic situations and the
rearing of children. The book concludes by discussing the
significance of music for musicians and their health. Although it
may seem that music has only good health effects, and therefore all
professional musicians should be healthy, not all music effects are
positive. The book describes situations in which music has negative
health effects and makes clear that there is a pronounced
difference between living with music for joy and to earn ones
living from making music. In the latter situation, performance
anxiety may become a factor that affects health adversely."
