“…Assure the volume isn't too loud and that the music selection is fairly melodic -maybe wait a few years before exposing the infant to favorite thrash metal tracks. A few years ago, when approaching such topics from an evolutionary perspective (Wallin et al, 2000;Justus, 2005;McDermott, 2005;Cross, et al, 2007;Vitouch &Ladinig, 2009), there is still debate regarding whether music is rooted in our biology, if it played some role in our species' survival, or if so, whether musicality was the outcome of natural.…”

The study aims to explore, review and report the effects of music stimulation among pregnant women. Music therapy is the clinical and evidence-based use of music to complete the individualized goals within a therapeutic relationship by a professional who has completed an approved music therapy program (American Music Therapy Association definition, 2005). Studies found that music increases the unborn child’s intelligence; sound stimulation enhances the brain’s maturation (McMahon, Wintermark, & Lahaina, 2012); the Mozart effect boosts creativity; and in utero listening to lullabies improves prenatal and postnatal sleeping habits (Wolfgang, 2016). The study aims to explore the effects of music stimulation on psychophysiological problems. Music-related bonding, prenatal sound stimulation to trigger learning processes, pedagogical effects, an evolutionary perspective of music, and brain maturation among pregnant women psycho physiological problems among pregnant women were discussed in this study. The effects of music on pregnant women are powerful to overcome psycho-physiological mechanisms (Akmese& Oran, 2014). Studies also discover how sound, rhythm, neural maturation, neuroplasticity, epigenetic processes, and cognitive development to music in prenatal care, benefit medical and academic performance (Mastnak, 2016). Music therapy affects the endocrine, autonomic, cognitive, and emotional domains of the human stress response. Music Therapy can also be utilized with healthy individuals to improve overall wellness (Scheve, 2004). Music has been utilized to provide quiet and relaxation for centuries and all across the world. These are the most extensively researched effects of music (Chanda & Levitin, 2013; de Witte et al., 2020a; Juslin&Vastfjall, 2008; Koelsch, 2015; Mehr et al., 2019). As a result, music therapy interventions are increasingly being used to reduce stress and improve client well-being across a wide range of clinical populations (Agres et al., 2020; Bainbridge et al., 2020; Juslin&Västfjäll, 2008; Kemper &Danhauer, 2005; Koelsch, 2012, 2015; Landis-Shack et al., 2017; Thaut&Hoemberg, 2014).

“…What biological and cognitive mechanisms are essential for perceiving, appreciating and making music? Some years ago, it became popular to address such questions from an evolutionary perspective [1][2][3][4][5], but disagreement remains about whether music is grounded in our biology, whether it played a role in our survival as a species and, if so, whether musicality resulted from natural or sexual selection.…”

Musicality can be defined as a natural, spontaneously developing trait based on and constrained by biology and cognition. Music, by contrast, can be defined as a social and cultural construct based on that very musicality. One critical challenge is to delineate the constituent elements of musicality. What biological and cognitive mechanisms are essential for perceiving, appreciating and making music? Progress in understanding the evolution of music cognition depends upon adequate characterization of the constituent mechanisms of musicality and the extent to which they are present in non-human species. We argue for the importance of identifying these mechanisms and delineating their functions and developmental course, as well as suggesting effective means of studying them in human and non-human animals. It is virtually impossible to underpin the evolutionary role of musicality as a whole, but a multicomponent perspective on musicality that emphasizes its constituent capacities, development and neural cognitive specificity is an excellent starting point for a research programme aimed at illuminating the origins and evolution of musical behaviour as an autonomous trait.

Abstract: As neither the enjoyment nor the capacity of producing musical notes are faculties of the least use to man in reference to his daily habits of life, they must be ranked among the most mysterious with which he is endowed. Charles Darwin (1871, p. 878)
