How is musical taste formed? Where do these musical preferences come from? Musical taste is not given to a person once and for all, It can change. But we are born with a certain inherent temperament and inner rhythm. A baby hears rhythms already from the 24th week of pregnancy and remembers them even in utero. After birth a child hearing them is revived or calmed down. His habits are depending on the effect of the melody on the fetus. Listening to music always occurs simultaneously with other events, for example, talking with friends, watching a movie, shopping, going to a concert and so on. If you hear certain music at the same time as something pleasant happens, you will begin to enjoy directly from such music over time, and your taste will be fixed. Certain mental states can also determine musical preferences. Sometimes we suddenly find harmony with previously unpleasant and alien music. This can happen because our mood is changing. Our choice of music depends on the level of mental liability, versatility and adaptability. Also there is a fact that people exchange their preferences in close contact with each other, when they are in any relationship. Why does this happen? Even if a person simply watches other people, he is inclined to repeat their actions. This mechanism helps us to better understand each other. But if a person’s mental processes are fast on their own, people are unlikely to listen to melancholy music, and vice versa. In any case, there is no concept of good or bad musical taste, it is the musical horizons that are important.
