 Classical music relates to musical compositions that are from the period known as musical classicism (between 1750 and 1820). Artists who create classical music try to express their ideas through the beauty of the sound. In addition, there are many classical music artists that we all know as Mozart or Bach. Moreover, according to some studies, classical music has many benefits.

On the one hand, Neuroscience has carried out several studies about the incidence of music in the brain. One of the most interesting recent studies took place at the University of Helsinki, which was about the genetic alterations produced by classical music. The result was that classical music is able to turn off the genes involved in the degeneration of the brain and the immune system, allowing the prevention of future neurodegenerative diseases. Furthermore, many scientists recommend pregnant women to listen to classical music during their pregnancy. This is because it stimulates different areas of the baby's brain and can help it develop healthier.

On the other hand, another area that music affects is the area of health. There is something called music therapy, which is a therapy that is associated to music. This discipline carries out conventional treatments on areas of the brain that are affected such as: cerebrovascular accidents, or dementia, among others. This type of treatment has given excellent results and advances in the reduction of these illnesses, and in this way helps affected patients to recover language and motor skills, as well as memory. In addition, music, especially classical music, helps with relaxation and concentration for any type of person.

To put it in a nutshell, classical music is that kind of music that even after many years, will always persist. Besides, thanks to classical music many other types of music have appeared. From my perspective, although the music I usually listen to is totally different to classical music, I still like it. Moreover, I like listening to classical music while doing my homework because it helps me to concentrate more.
