stimulative music

stimulating music

Music therapy
Assertive or buoyant music used in music therapy, which may stimulate the rest of the body to join the rhythm by evoking hand clapping, dancing and other reactions. Stimulating music may have major changes in pitch, dynamics or rhythm, which usually is similar to that of an “alert” heart—i.e., 70–90 beats/minute; styles regarded as stimulative include Big Band, Dixie-land, Gospel, and others.
