When pleasurable music is heard, dopamine is released in the striatum — an ancient part of the brain. In general, music can be experienced as pleasurable both when it fulfills and violates expectations. When you are listening to a piano cover of a known popular song, it’s the thrill of anticipation and having expectations met, that gives you that instant gratification in form of a dopamine kick (scientifically proven).  With this in mind, all these piano covers have been composed to create an outstanding sound experience and a long-lasting anticipatory phase* for the listener. Listening to these piano covers on a daily basis can therefore increase your dopamine level and lead to a more positive mood. *The anticipatory phase, set off by temporal cues signaling that a potentially pleasurable auditory sequence is coming, can trigger expectations of euphoric emotional states and create a sense of wanting and reward prediction. This reward is entirely abstract and may involve such factors as suspended expectations and a sense of resolution. © 2011 Nature America, Inc. All rights reserved.
