“Music” hasalready emerged in the primitive society of humanity, and its significance to human society is not only its artistic value, but also has a deeper impact andvalue on the development of human society and scientific research.

As Albert Einstein said, “Without early music education, I would have achieved nothing.” Einstein stated that imagination was more important than knowledge, and music gave him boundless imagination, he said, “In scientific thinking, there are always factors of music. True science and true music require the same thinking process. Many of my achievements in science are inspired by music.”

Just as British biologist Charles Darwin once described therole of music in his thinking, he said, "Music often excites me to think about the problem I am researching..." He always believed that a scientist's success depends on a rich mental state and a beautiful emotional world, rather than just rational thinking.

The scientific research achievements of countless scientists in the world from ancient and modern times have benefited from their awareness to music, such as physicist Stephen Hawking, quantum theory pioneer Max Planck, physicist and chemist Ernest Rutherford, and scientists such as Loo-Keng Hua, Siguang Li, Sicheng Liang, Hsue-shen Tsien, and Weichang Qian in China.

Therefore, music has the following main functions in general:

- The first is to cultivate abstract/logical thinking abilities and develop imagination;

- The second is to express and regulate emotions, and relieve stress; For example, music can bring happiness and physical and mental health to people;

- The third is the healing function and promote brain development; For example, music sanatoriums and music functions emphasized in early education;

Therefore, we hope that every friend who participates in our website learning can gain the ability to be happy, the motivation to move forward, a healthy life, and the development of thinking and imagination from music.
