Elevator music – OMG Joyce, I completely forgot about that! 🙂 Indeed listening to soft music can get our creative juices flowing and even improve productivity. Thank you for sharing your tip with us.

I’ve found that playing a musical selection from YouTube while I’m working in another tab, keeps the creative juices flowing. There are so many choices that I always find something new and stimulating. It also gives me a chance to experience different cultural pieces I would not normally be exposed to. Lots of companies use soft music in the background, but I think the worst offender is elevator music. You have to live through it until your ride is over.

Truth is often stranger than fiction Reba. 🙂 She was a newly promoted Branch Manager who wanted to make a difference – though this experiment of hers went off the wrong way. You are right about the various methods that music can be used to create results, some of which are not very positive. I prefer soothing music unless I’ve had a really bad day and then the only thing I want is head banging hard rock music to work out the angst and get back to normal. LOL

Funny story! Hard to imagine the bank agreeing to this experiment. I appreciate your finding about music having the ability to bring stability and calm to the anxious, depressed and disabled. Other types of music have the ability to incite violence and even insanity. Pretty powerful stuff. Use with caution! xo

I love music too, Tamara, and all types – provided the music is in the background and not distracting me from my intended task, especially at the bank or even when driving. 🙂

I love music – and it is a great stress reliever for me. I love my rock and roll and some heavy metal; though I do appreciate great blues and some soft jazz. I do agree that the type of music chosen for things such as background music at the bank, is very important. Not just the choice, because some banks here in Rochester play Adult Soft Rock or even the Top 40 – however, it is kept at a minimal volume so we know it’s there but it is not distracting. Thank you for sharing! Best, Tamara
