Music can heal, recover, and empower. This chapter elaborates on the
mechanisms that explain how music serves as a means for promoting physical,
mental, and emotional health, across different individuals and the multitude of
everyday life situations. Music holds major potential for impacting healthrelevant
aspects of human behavior such as the reward system activation,
emotion regulation, stress reduction, activation of cognitive-motor behavior, and
social interaction. Yet, effective utilization of the health-promoting affordances of
music is also strongly dependent on the individual and contextual factors, and
the chapter stresses the relevance of understanding the health-impact of music
as an interactive engagement with consideration for individual differences. The
chapter will present examples from recent research that is rapidly uncovering
the mechanisms that link musical engagement to everyday life health and
wellbeing and discuss the relevance of this knowledge for personal healthpromotion
and preventive interventions.
