Over time, the music has a place in the workplace. From its use during the earliest to its near extinction in the industrial era to today, music has played a crucial role of workers.

A Brief History

Music is a universal language that transcends borders. In Victorian times, handlooms sang as they worked. If the noisy machines came the industrial era,> Music at work was almost lost. During the Second War, the music was re-introduced to employees via radio.
Workers, often children, would lose the finger at the chassis when you try to delete something that has been blocked. Child labor would sing to keep awake.

The railway workers and peasants sang relieve the monotony and to remain vigilant to the risks. With the advent of machinery in the industrial age, sang literally submerged. In a quietFactories, women and orchestras were hired to sing and play, among the workers. Musicali, but all died in that period. (Le Roux, 2005, vol 7).

The radio was used primarily as a means to convey the message, but in 1940 joined the British Broadcasting Corporation operates a radio program called "music while you work." Ride two times a day and has been specifically designed for workers in the factory. The bands for the show were instructed to carry medley to keep the attention of workers.It should also be of fundamental importance for the music, to keep a pace that productivity would be expected.

In 1942 the song "Deep in the Heart of Texas" was banned because of the section of applause was encouraged workers to temporarily stop and participate. (Le Roux, 2005) Even in these early days were the performances of the music identified in the workplace:

(Lesiuk, 2005, pp.173-191) On the other hand, "change of mood and increased positive perception of design" (Lesiuk, pp. 173-191) have been supplemented by the addition of music.

Other studies have shown that music enhances a positive atmosphere at work, a sense of team, improves attention and accidents can be reduced. Music "motivated workers decreasesboredom and leads to increased productivity perhaps because people work in time with the beat.” (le Roux, 2005)

Employers do need to consider the type of music played in a workplace. The mood and style should fit the business. Experts suggest all-instrumental soundtracks so that workers don’t become distracted by the lyrics. (Guess, 1999, p. 42)

Although this idea is fairly new, it is promising.
