This work deals with music as one of the frequent forms of (inter)human communication, with an emphasis on the ways and situations in which it can serve and is used as a means of manipulation. Today, communication is an inevitable part of everyday life and is considered one of the main foundations of interpersonal relationships. You can communicate in many different ways, including through music, instrumental and vocal. Music is one of the ways to establish contact with other people as well as a form of sending and receiving messages and expressing emotions. A brief insight into the theoretical starting points of the three central terms of this work – music, communication and manipulation - as well as their main elements, features and types is given. In doing so, the focus is on the connection of music with possibilities and cases of manipulation, how music affects people and how important music is in certain social communities. The aim of this work is to point out the importance of music as a form of communication that is strongly present in everyday life, which is why its power is often exploited in order to manipulate individuals or the mass for which selected practical examples are presented. That music has power is evidenced by its influence on the expression of a wide range of human feelings, so it is often used as a means of manipulation in the context of consumer marketing, but also in other areas of social activity.
