One time at school it was kind of a rough day.
[Chloe, Sixth Grade Student/WHY Music Incubator Pilot] I was kind of being tough on myself
'cause it didn't go that great and I was stressed out.
And then when I came home I just played some music,
and it made me feel so much better and so much more calm and relaxed.
It was crazy. It just changed my mood, and it was really nice
and it made it so I could focus on what I needed to get done and reduced my stress a lot.
I didn't really think that music really had that much of an impact.
I thought maybe it was just like noise that we like.
But now I realize how much it can affect your brain so much to make it
so it's easier to remember things and easier to do things
and just it helps you learn. And that's why I feel like it's so important to have it in education
because a lot of music's value is concentration and focusing.
And sometimes school can cause a lot of stress,
and if you have music there it can reduce that stress and make school so much easier.
I saw how it could change my emotions, like I saw that it can definitely make you more calm
and more energized, especially when we were doing the drum circle.
It affects your brain and it makes you feel accomplished,
especially making music. But listening to that music
and seeing how you could play that in unison, it was really cool.
It just makes you feel so creative like you could do anything.
