      Good question! I don’t know exactly. But music seems to affect plants and animals too. I remember an experiment where a plant grew taller when exposed to music – well, it could have been the noise that activated the growth and not necessarily the tempo or speed. I know there is research to suggest that music influences brain waves, which could then affect how relaxed or stimulated you feel. However, I don’t know that much about it.

      Good question – I’m afraid that I don’t know, but I wish that I did!
