   Music. It can tug 1 at our hearts, perhaps even literally 2. Because when people sing together their hearts begin to beat in sync with each other. Researchers monitored the heart rates of 15 teenagers as they produced sounds solo. The participants either hummed one note or sang a hymn 3 while breathing whenever they wanted. They also performed a mantra thay required them to breathe only at the end of each phrase. Then the exercises were repeated by groups of five subjects all singing at once. And when the subjects performed regular song structures in unison 4, their hearts rates slowed down and sped up at the same time. Vocal 5 preformancesimpose set breathing patterns which regulate and synchronize 6 heart beats. According to the researchers, choral participation 7 can thus improve well-being 8. It not only tones the cardiovascular system but so produces the same relaxing effect as breathing exercises practiced in Yoga. So music truely soothes 9 the savage 10 breast, or at least the heart beating inside it.
