我们许多人都知道音乐影响情绪的力量。杂货店会播放能够刺激购买欲的背景音乐；医生的诊室会播放安抚情绪的音乐；青年服装店会在店面前播放音乐——响亮的摇滚乐来吸引年轻、耍酷的群体。古典音乐据说能够刺激学习能力；有些研究显示，听莫扎特的儿童会得到比较高的分数。音乐在旧约圣经时代也被认为具有疗愈效果。
Many of us are aware of the mood- influencing power of music. Grocery stores play background music that stimulates buying. Doctors＇ offices play calming music. Youth fashion shops play foreground music--loud rock that attracts the young and the cool. Classical music supposedly stimulates learning abilities; some studies have suggested that children who listen to Mozart make higher grades. Music was [also] known to be therapeutic in Old Testament times.
