developing in the field of music therapy. This study aims to investigate the different emotional changes experienced by participants of different ages and genders when listening to the same piece of piano music. Participants will complete an emotional scale questionnaire (options include calmness, excitemend, anger, happiness, sadness) after listening to the same stimulus (the piano piece). The results will be analyzed through a paired t-test and presented graphically. The study finds that women tend to experience more positive emotions than men. Furthermore, there are significant differences in emotional responses between different age groups, particularly with regard to how older adults react emotionally to music. These findings suggest that the same piece of music can resonate differently with various demographic groups, playing a positive role in music therapy.
