Music connects us together
Music connects us together
We looked at the connection between music and happiness to explore why music can change our mood and make us more happy. This showcase was inspired by the documentary Alive Inside(2014) by Micheal Rossato-Benntt, furthermore, at the beginning of each class each student presented on a piece of music that made them happy. This exercise allowed the class to bond and become more open with each other.
We also interviewed friends and family to make a playlist of the songs that make us happy!
The playlist is below so please add music that makes you happy to it.
