Music has existed in human life since the beginning of humanity and is present in all cultures from an early age. Everyone has the basic capacity to process it, which is organized in differentiated steps involving different brain regions. It is well known that music is blamed for causing young people to commit violent acts against others or themselves. That is why we wanted to conduct this research with ninety-seven people, who will tell us whether songs can be used by Counseling Services for prevention, but even more so for reflection on the personal and social spheres of the individual and on issues related to sexual relationships, drugs, violence, depression, school dropouts, emotions, maladaptive behaviors, among others. In the information we have found about music, it is widely used as a means of teaching and learning a musical instrument, but we have not been able to find documentation where it is used as a means of reflection due to its lyrics. The objective of this article is to present the results of a questionnaire we developed; Regarding music, and how it has been able to work on their emotions, modify behavior, and serve as a prevention tool; since guidance specifically seeks to prevent. We believe that with the data collected, counselors should use music, specifically its lyrics, as a tool that will allow us to create a pleasant and creative environment to open the student's mind to a more receptive understanding of the songs' content and thus encourage critical, reflective, and in-depth thinking related to prevention.
