The main idea of this article is how effective music can be to humans and how you can make the most divine sound you've ever heard or could make a terrible sound that could potentially hurt your ears. This article is also about researches currently studying how music has the effect on us as it does because currently there is no known reason for why music effects our emotions.
Details or evidence I have from the article is when the writer is giving examples of when music can effect us. The article says "Ever since ancient times, scholars have puzzled over the reasons that some musical note combinations sound so sweet while others are just downright dreadful." That is how the article starts off but that part fits as one of my details because the beginning lays out the rest of the article. Another detail from the article is how researchers are conducting tests/surveys on college students from Minnesota. Researcher Josh McDermott said "The question is, what makes certain combinations of musical notes pleasant or unpleasant?" As he was testing the college students with a variety of musical and nonmusical sounds.
In my opinion I think this topic is rather interesting. However, I am just as curious as every other researcher currently trying to find this ultimate answer for why does music make us feel the way we feel when listening to it because it's been a question on my mind since I started listening to a lot more music.
One connection I can make to this is from my childhood and I know I'm about to go off topic but when I was younger I was very interested in drawing. I still am but back then I was just starting out and I used to look at my drawings and compare them to others with others with the help of an older sibling or my parents when they had time and I used to always look an artists picture and wonder "How does he draw like that?" But now that I'm older I realize it takes a lot of practice to do that and you have to let your mind explore sometimes. I've connected this to my blog because when you listen to music your mind does the same thing as when you draw, It explores, it wonders, it thinks.
This article has helped me to think deeply of the subject because as I said before this is an interesting topic.

Good post, thought I'm not sure I quite understand the analogy. Do you like music? Have your tastes changed over time? What caused them to change, if they did? 95
