Music is the universal language of mankind. Scientists at Havard published the most comprehensive scientific study on music as a cultural product, which examined what features of song tend to be shared across societies. The research team found that across societies, music is associated with behaviors such as healing, dance, and love. They discovered that songs that share behavioral functions tend to have similar musical features.
Additionally, music therapy can help to alleviate symptoms associated with career and its treatments. Music can help reduce breathing problems and improve quality of life in patients in all stages of cancer. It has been demonstrated that for patients undergoing radiation therapy simulation, music therapy lowers anxiety and stress. If you ever have an MRI in a closed unit, one of the first questions the technician will ask is if you would like to listen to some music.

Relaxation can involve listening to music of any genre. And finally, the obvious: You don’t need to be musically talented to do music therapy. It cannot cure, treat or prevent cancer, but it can help you patients to relax and improve their emotional and physical well-being.

Artificial intelligence (AI) and related technologies are increasingly prevalent in business and society; besides, they have been applied to education. These technologies have the potential to transform many aspects of the teaching - learning process.
Basic activities in education like grading can be automated with the help of AI. At educational institutes, marking a large number of tests and assignments is tedious work. Teachers often find that grading takes up a considerable amount of time which can be used to interact with students and prepare for class. AI, at present, may not be able to actually replace human grading; however, it's getting pretty close. Nearly all kinds of multiple choice and fill-in-the blank testing can now be performed by Al- driven machines, and automated grading of student writing may not be far behind. Essay-grading softwares are still in their infancy, yet they will be fully developed over the coming years, allowing teachers to focus more on classroom activities and professional development.
Learners can also get additional support from AI. For instance, tutoring programs based on artificial intelligence already exist to help students with basic courses of mathematics, writing, foreign language, etc. With the rapid pace of technological advancement in recent years, sophisticated tutoring systems which can help students learn high order thinking and stimulate their creativity will not be a pipe dream. Moreover, Al programs can give learners useful feedback and assistance. Some schools, especially those with online courses, are using AI systems to monitor students' progress. These systems not only offer students advice on individual courses but also help students choose majors in accordance with areas where they succeed or struggle.
For better or worse, AI systems have taken place in certain types of classroom activities. In the next decades, their influences will extend significantly, which offers both teacher and students a much wider range of services.
