Singing and making music combine magical elements, ancient collective experiences and highly lively qualities full of new sounds. It can influence moods, provide comfort, reduce stress and reinforce positive emotions. Music also contributes to cognitive development, especially in children. Even infants begin to "sing", explore and mould their voice and acquire control over their breathing.
