I talk with my students about the fact that music and singing must release endorphins because it makes people feel better, even singing Requiems about death is enjoyable! I wholeheartedly agree with this article that there is a dopamine release in the response to music that is similar to tangible rewards. Even more importantly, the anticipation of that reward causes a dopamine release. I know I get excited when I think about making music! :)
Dopamine Release!
