Outside the Box

Does Music Move You?

There are certain combinations of notes or chords that are especially emotive, whether uplifting, energising, or moving.

Are you moved by music?

Find time to be alone in a place where you feel comfortable and secure. Choose the saddest song you know and play it on repeat. Don't do anything but listen to the song. Feel it draw you in, draw you down. Don't resist. Allow yourself to be vulnerable and exposed to the effects of the sound. Allow the song to play several times.

Are there tears in your eyes, or do you feel nothing?
