Sometimes where you listen to music can dramatically change the tone of the music you’re listening to and how it affects your brain. For example, listening to music in your room sort of creates a control area where you’re able to feel all of the tones you’re meant to feel because you are uninterrupted by any outside stimuli, but you can’t really get the same effect from music like dance or electronic music that would better be listened to in say a music venue or a club.

And I think it’s more of an instinctual matter because even when you’re trying to listen to the wrong music in the wrong location your body enjoys it less. But it also works in the opposite end on if you’re in a location listening to a certain type of music it can vastly affect your perception of set place.  using the same dance and electronic music as an example which is better attributed to clubs or parties, at said clubs and parties you’re not going to want to put on a dramatic or emotional song because that will bring the mood down within set location.

The most common locations to listen to music as stated by status Canada are, in a car, at home, outdoors (specifically while walking or running), at work, at the gym, music venues, or on public transportation.  Now just by looking at this list you could imagine what type of music you would be listening to in these locations and the easiest ones to listen to music in are in a car or at home. I believe this has to do with the same thing I stated prior where you can listen to the most types of music within these locations which will entice you to start listening to music, it’s as easy as that.

My favourite place to listen to music is in a car specially when I’m driving almost an hour out to campus every day because the music I listened to before I get onto the highway to when I’m on the highway or completely different and you can create a sort of play list in your mind of what you want to listen to in each given location and time of day factors into it as well where the music you listen to first thing in the morning on your drive is going to be a lot different than the music you listen to middle of the day and middle of the night.
