Hi Neena,
Yes, music can have quite an emotional effect on the listener. It can
soothe ones emotions as well as bringing ones emotions up. There are
some songs though which will make some people cry and apparently even
get mean. So yes, music can have quite an emotional impact on people.
I just did a little bit of looking into that model phone and it
doesn't appear that it has any type of accessibility options at all
except for slightly larger keys. The flip phones either have the
accessibility built in or they don't. It's not the kind of thing that
one can add on at a later date.
Regards,
Laz
