So when we think about using music as this tool to connect with one another before language, whether it's rhythm, whether it's creating sounds to tie emotions, music and emotions are so important. linked together when we hear certain sounds, like I mentioned, it ignites different parts of our amygdala, whether it's happy or sad and sounds have that capability.

So the more that you are singing a song and attaching it to a melody and to the harmony underneath it, especially if you've sang it with other people, absolutely. It's easier to remember than if I ask you even happy birthday. I'm sure if you had to write down the lyrics to Happy Birthday, you have to think about it or sing it in your head in order to write it down.

It doesn't just seem like Happy Birthday. Our brains don't function that way. Everything is intertwined and integrated together when it comes to the music.

That's a good question. And I think it's very individualized. Again, music as that cue can absolutely help if you're having a hard time focusing. But again, if you're listening to music with lyrics when you're trying to write or focus, it detracts from that. Because music never really is a background noise like we talked about. So it's finding that music that supports that.

If you find that silence really works for you, wonderful. But I think it's worth experimenting with different types of music and with silence to see what works for you with different types of sounds throughout the day.
