Music for the Office: Music to Calm the Spirit

April 14, 2010 by Lynne

We have received a question from a subscriber, asking what kinds of music might work well in an office setting.

Sometimes everybody could use calming down; sometimes people need to be pumped up; and sometimes they could use support for intensely demanding mental activity.

This particular office, like many, is made up of people of different ages and musical tastes.  Maybe you work in a similar setting. Or maybe you work alone in a home office. In either case, music can be a wonderful resource for fostering an optimal atmosphere to do your best work.

Are there any generalizations we can make that would be helpful in choosing your own “office music”?

Well, you know us. We’ve put on our thinking caps and come up with some ideas.

The audio portion of this post will give you our suggestions, along with a couple of musical examples.

You might have ideas of your own about music for your office, pieces that have calmed you. Please share them with us.

We want this website to become a treasure house of specific information about the power of music to enhance human well-being.  We need your help!

In our next posts we’ll bring you some ideas about music for energy and for concentration.
