Adolescents’ engagement with sonic art forms profoundly influences their development. Auditory stimuli and rhythmic patterns elicit a range of emotional, cognitive, and social responses. For example, exposure to certain genres can impact mood, concentration levels, and even social interactions.
The impact extends beyond mere entertainment. Throughout history, societies have leveraged melodies and harmonies to transmit cultural values and foster group cohesion. For young people, musical experiences can shape identity formation, provide avenues for self-expression, and offer a sense of belonging. These elements contribute significantly to overall well-being during formative years.
