the same with him when he was young. This

Plato said, “Music is a moral law. It gives
soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight
to the imagination, and charm and gaiety to
life and everything”. This means music nour-
ishes the mind and thought and develops the
senses and human abilities. Here comes the
role of society, media, and the elite society
in urging the learning of music and listening
to it daily because It can reduce stress and
maintain a sense of well-being. When we
hear disruptive noises, the natural human
reaction is adverse. “On the contrary, the rich
catalogue of music available to us today pro-
vides a range of therapeutic benefits. Upbeat
music can provide energy and entertain-
ment, whilst slower tempo tracks can calm
our nerves. All scientists, philosophers and
researchers realize this.
Music is the sound and the magic that
makes the world a better place. As the
French writer and poet Victor Hugo said,
“Music expresses that which cannot be said
and on which it is impossible to be silent.”
Music appears as the ethereal thread which
dances between souls in the limitless fabric
of existence. It orchestrates emotions, paints
the universe with majestic resonance, and
eternally echoes the great symphony of our
common human experience.
