Without doubt music is a massive part of my life and the music I choose to listen to reflects my mental well-being at that moment in time, a lack of music over a number of days can lead to feelings of mild depression for me, positive musical experiences make me feel energised, positive and confident, I am very interested in this area as I have also observed the positive impact on the mental state of my elderly mother who is suffering from Lewybodies dementia – in bad moments the introduction of music she likes is simply transformative – I truly believe that research into the simple use of music for people suffering with either mental health or even physical health issue is particularly worthwhile and potentially very beneficial. I enjoyed taking the survey my only negative observation would be that it was slightly limited in genres – for example blues and soul/RnB did not seem to feature.
