Will musical notes affect you?

I have seen a holistic effect of music on us, some say relaxing but its more than psychology alone. Each and every music affects us differently, right from pop, jazz to eastern music such as classical hindustani and carnatic music. though the basic notes for all the music is same, yet there seems different varieties, choices etc. According to me music defines you and shapes your social character. How? We all know animals and plants respond to music as well. Right from the beats to the notes in it. The music through our olfactory system or auditory cortex, creates an impact on us. This music is somehow co related to vision that is what you see is as well recorded. Though we have lots of research on music that is Western classical music s impact on psychoneuro aspect we have little knowledge about the travelling notes which is basis of the eastern music and the molecular and genetic changes it gives. I basically think music in general affect the neural activity of neural cell cycle epigenetically. Can someone enlighten me with this topic?
