How Does the Brain Process Music to Make Us Feel Emotions?

Imagine your brain is like a concert hall, and music is the performance. When you listen to music, different parts of your brain light up, some for rhythm, some for melody, and others for feelings. Your brain mixes all these signals together so you can feel joy, sadness, or even a wave of memories from a song you’ve heard before. It’s like magic, but it’s actually science!
