Introduction

Memory is the faculty of the mind by which data or information is encoded, stored, and retrieved when needed. It is the retention of information over time for the purpose of influencing future action. Recent research on music and brain function has suggested that the temporal pattern structure in music and rhythm can enhance cognitive functions. Song, with its memory enhancement potential and ability to engage, has been employed as a learning tool in some academic settings. Entertainment-education song has proven to be effective as a memory enhancer and learning tool across a number of disciplines.

Music stimulates an increase in the release of beneficial chemicals such as ethanol choline, which is thought to be a neurotransmitter that carries messages between brain cells. Therefore, the increase of ethanol choline is to enhance memory, and can promote the kinetic energy of human physiological action. In addition, music can promote metabolic activity and improve mental health. When you are upset, music will remove your worries, when you are happy, music can make you more relaxed and delighted. Listening to relaxing music regularly will keep you in an optimistic mood, you will have full of vitality, interest and confidence in life and study, which will unconsciously improve your memory.
