Do dogs hate music?

Dogs and humans are different, so absorbing music in this way doesn't work for a dog. They hear different pitches and their heartbeats follow different rhythms, and as a result, dogs do not seem interested in music.

A dog’s dislike or disinterest in music is one of those situations that stem from the differences between dogs and humans. Most music is written by humans, for humans, and a composer often is targeting emotions or experiences. Humans relate to music based on the beat and tone and also connect the music to an emotion, such as happy or heartbroken. Humans have a strong ability to distinguish sounds, notes, and appreciate the complexity behind a piece of music and hear harmony when it is played. Dogs and humans are different, so absorbing music in this way doesn’t work for a dog. They hear different pitches and their heartbeats follow different rhythms, and as a result, dogs do not seem interested in music. Studies have been done surrounding music and dogs. One study tried to find if dogs preferred one genre over another. The study played classical music and heavy metal music for dogs and watched their reactions to each. They found that dogs are more relaxed when listening to classical music than they are when listening to heavy metal, which is similar to how humans react to these genres. Another study threw in pop music, which dogs had little or no reaction to. Your dog can make music of his own by howling with his friends. In fact, dog howls used to be more common and were used to communicate with other dogs. If a dog howls, it can be a sign of loneliness. However, when accompanying one another, the dogs join in at different pitches, which sounds mournful and dissident to the human ear, but to a dog, it sounds just right. He does not want his voice to blend in because he wants his presence in the pack known. Dogs might jump in with a howl when they hear a siren or piano because they think it is a howling occasion.

Expression of encouragement used in the performing arts

"Toi toi toi" ( )[1] is an expression used in the performing arts to wish an artist success in an imminent performance. It is similar to "break a leg" and reflects a superstition that wishing someone "good luck" is in fact bad luck.[2][3][4]

Origin [ edit ]

There are many theories as to the origin of Toi toi toi as an idiom. In folklore it was used to ward off a spell or hex, often accompanied by knocking on wood or spitting. One origin theory sees "toi toi toi" as the onomatopoeic rendition of spitting three times, a common practice in many parts of the world to ward off evil spirits. Saliva traditionally had demon-banishing powers. Another theory claims the origin to be a threefold warning of the devil (Teufel, pronounced as TOY-fell) in German (n.b. not the French "toi").[citation needed] Also from Rotwelsch tof and from Yiddish tov ("good", derived from the Hebrew טוב and with phonetic similarities to the Old German tiuvel "Devil").[5]

Similar expressions [ edit ]

An alternate operatic good luck charm originating from Italy is the phrase In bocca al lupo! (In the mouth of the wolf) with the response Crepi! or Crepi il lupo! (May it [the wolf] die!). Amongst actors "Break a leg" is the usual phrase, while for professional dancers the traditional saying is merde (French, meaning "shit"). In Spanish, the phrase is mucha mierda, or "lots of shit", as in Portuguese (“muita merda”).[6][7]
