Dr Sandra Garrido is a pianist, violinist, researcher and writer of Why Are We Attracted to Sad Music?  Dr Garrido says melancholic music impacts people differently, depending on their mental health. “Evidence suggests that people with tendencies to clinical depression respond to music differently at a cognitive level," she said. "Those with depression usually have the same motivations for listening to sad music as other people, so they think that they're benefitting from it in the same way, and often don't realise that it's not working in their case." The MARCS Institute for Brain Behaviour and Development at University of Western Sydney is developing an app called Moody Tunes to help young people understand how music and mood work together.

The science of sad music - why do we crave it so much: Dr Sandra Garrido PhD, MARCS Institute, UWSYD

Music and our moods are intrinsically linked. We seek sad songs when we're blue, upbeat vibes to work out, maybe classical for a bit of zen. But how does this work? What happens in your brain when you listen to music? And how can you use music strategically to boost your mood and your performance? My guest today is Dr Sandra Garrido. Sandra is a pianist, a violinist, an author, a mum and researcher. She started studying law but found that she didn't really like arguing with people for a living, so she returned to University to study music and psychology and this has been the foundation of her career ever since. At present Sandra is an NHMRC-ARC Dementia Research Fellow at the MARCS Institute for Brain, Behaviour and Development at Western Sydney University, exploring mood regulation using music and how we might use music to improve the quality of life in people with mild dementia.In our podcast chat, Sandra and I explore: •Why music is important to humans •The role music plays in our physiological, cognitive, social and emotional experience •How music can positively effect our wellbeing •Why the music of our teens years sticks with us throughout life, and •Why we're drawn to sad songs when we're down - and how this can help and hinder us.Tune in to learn why music moves us.For more detail including a full transcript of the interview, visit potential.com.au/podcast.--- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/potentialpsychology/message
