Music for the Mind




We had a neat performance from the Assumption College Vocal and Instrument Bands today. They played some tunes and sang some songs and talked about some of the instruments and vocal parts. It was a nice treat, especially since they came to our school. Hopefully, it encourages a few more students to try their hand at music in high school.

i wish i'd known that you didn't have to already know how to play an instrument to take music back when i was in high school. i thought they were all 10 year pros that took music. It wasn't until university that i took up the trombone and loved every minute of it. It's a great experience for anyone to learn how to play or sing, as it stimulates different parts of the brain and actually improves your ability to learn almost anything. If you don't believe me, check out the science.
