In this chapter we have taken a tour round the world of work from many different angles and explored how and why background music can influence the way we behave, think, react and feel in work environments. The next step in music psychology research will be to move away from searching for largely fruitless generalised effects (there is no one ‘best’ music for work) and strive towards effective assessment of critical variables, such as feelings of control and consumer reactions, in the many individual varied and complex situations that make up our modern working world.

In the next chapter we will take a breather from all this thinking about work and indulge in some relaxation. We use music for our play even more than we use it for work; it is inherent to many of our fun rituals surrounding sport, dance, romance and TV/films. How and why has music become interwoven within our play activities and how does it affect our precious downtime?
