Project Abstract

The purpose of my project is to see how music affects the heart rate. I thought that relaxation, classical, and jazz music will bring the heart rate down; bollywood, rock and roll, popular, and disney music will bring the heart rate up. I used a heart rate/blood pressure moniter, a CD player, and seven different types of music. I observed that different people obviously have different tastes and dislikes in music. I concluded that the data gathered supported the hypothesis for relaxation and bollywood music, was inconclusive for classical, jazz, and rock music, and for popular and disney music the reverse happened of what was expected.
