    "Music is the electrical soil in which the spirit lives, thinks and invents." said Beethoven. Throughout time, people have purposely used the powerful effects of music with everyday tasks. Music is thought to be the first form of art to be born, and throughout the long history of humans, it has proved to play an essential part in our lives. There is hardly anyone who has never listened to a song. In the 20th century the Western Scientific Community researched music and the mind.
