Music plays an important role in our daily lives. It would be impossible for a day to go by without music. Music serves many functions within our society: it is used to entertain, relax, motivate, persuade, teach, treat diseases, unite, promote patriotism, and so on.

Advertisers are fully aware of the role music can play in entering the mind of the consumer. For example, the most effective way to aid the memory of the consumer is to accompany an advertisement with an interesting song. Once the customer likes that song, he might remember the brand name of the advertised product as well and he will choose that product while standing in front of a shell full of goods of different brand names.

Music on special occasions is essential. At the Olympic sports events, it is interesting to observe how music is played. Entertainment is an obvious function, but further, music at such events helps create an exciting atmosphere. The use of national anthems is to promote the feelings of patriotism, thus encouraging athletes to make great efforts. Music can also be used as a means of treating patients. It soothes the nerves of patients with mental disorder. For those with visual impairment, playing music is one way to help them open their hearts to the outside world. Obviously, music has a profound and powerful impact on our lives.
