There are many different types of music in the world today. Why do we need music? is the traditional music of a country more important than the International music that is heard everywhere nowadays?

Although

it is sometimes thought that traditional

music

should give priority than International

music

, others think we are required to listen to a variety of

music

. I accept the fact that

music

is needed and it must be depend on mood. On the one hand, some people prefer listening to local

music

over

music

from other countries and it related to their background.

Firstly

, it can be because of lack of awareness.

For example

, in a village where I grew up as a child, we used to listen to local

music

as we never got an opportunity to try different tunes. Later on, when we shifted to an urban area, I started liking other songs too.

Secondly

, it can

also

be based on traditional values and religious beliefs of a person.

In other words

, if a person belongs to certain group of community which will have restrictions and because of that, it will limit a person's freedom to listen to new

music

.

On the other hand

, we have people who think

music

is essential as it will help in maintaining mental health and I agree. There is a saying - "Mood will decide the

music

" and I strictly believe that. I personally switch between different genres based on my day. If my day was stressful

then

I will listen to the classics. In India,

music

therapy is gaining fame as they treat people will mental problems by making them listen to the sounds of nature like Water, Wind and so on. To conclude, in some areas, listening to local

music

is preferred. I personally belief that there must be a bridge between type of

music

and mood.
