Music

Both listening and playing music can make people feel good. Scientists have found that playing an instrument involves almost every area of the brain. Musicians tend to have higher levels of executive functioning skills; such as: planning, strategizing, attention to detail, and memory capabilities.

I enjoy listening to music and playing music for two entirely different reasons. I enjoy listening to music because it makes me feel connected to the artist because they express the same emotions I experience in life through their melody, tone, instruments, and lyrics. Listening to music makes me feel more confident in my assessment of myself and who I am as a person.

I enjoy playing music, (I play the guitar), because it allows me the unlimited freedom to express myself and makes me feel empowered and confident enough to show my true self to the world. Playing music makes me feel more confident in my position in the role and how I show who I am as a person to the world.
