To “Feel the Music” means being in the moment, creating music, singing, playing, actively engaging with rhythm & melody, feeling the sound vibrations that resonate through our bodies when we make music.

A Feeling of Frisson Actually, it even has a name. The phenomenon of chills or goosebumps that come from a piece of music (or from any other aesthetic experience) is called frisson, and it's been one of the big mysteries of human nature since it was first described.

RESONANCE/VIBRATION You'll also be able to feel some resonance (vibration created by the voice) but WHERE and how much you feel it will (again) depend on how high the notes are and how loudly you're singing. You might feel these vibrations in your chest, throat, mouth or moving up your face.

Whenever we're making music, we leave the realm of social conditioning and conscious thought. Instead, we're in direct contact with our emotions. Whenever we're engaged in creativity, such as music-making, we're present in the moment. This presence allows us to get in touch with our emotions and express them.

With music's deep connection to the limbic system, people tend to find connections in music through memories. Certain songs have a way of taking you to certain time or a specific place in your life. Because of this, we feel a reminiscent connection to music to go along with the emotions it already arouses in us.

Often, seen as some intangible magical 'something' which draws our ears, the term 'feel' is used when a guitarist can communicate through their playing. Conveying a human quality, vocal-like approach or projecting a given emotion.

Through auditory stimulation, music could drive neurons to fire at a specific rate -- as though our brains are resonating to a beat -- that sets our overall mood. But some of our most powerful responses to music come from expectation, tension, then resolution.

You should feel air moving steadily through your throat. You should feel a loose jaw. Your lips should be loose not drawn back-not even for an “eee” sound. You should feel your lower back ribs stretching OOUUT OOUUT OUUT (as you sing, not as you breathe in).

At other times, we may feel tearfully awestruck in the face of the greatness or sheer beauty of the music. This last response has a name – Stendhal Syndrome – and while the syndrome is more commonly associated with art, it can be applied equally to the powerful emotional reaction which music provokes.

Fortunately, there are many ways to facilitate healthy emotional expression; here are 18 tips:

1. Use positive self-talk.
2. Be a good listener.
3. Try spirituality.
4. Teach emotion words to young children.
5. Practice empathy.
6. Model emotional expression.
7. Forgive.
8. Practice acceptance.

The phrase "soul music" itself, referring to gospel-style music with secular lyrics, was first attested in 1961. The term "soul" in African-American parlance has connotations of African-American pride and culture. Gospel groups in the 1940s and '50s occasionally used the term as part of their names.
