Episode 14- Music and Personal Growth

In this episode of An Incomplete Guide to Personal Growth, Sydney and Kelly explore the how music influences our lives. Sydney is really is quite irritated today, but Kelly is in a good mood. We will let music lift her up!

You are never to old to learn a new instrument or experience new tunes
If you want to learn, don't just wish it, do it
Learning an instrument teaches great life lessons...mistakes are a part of life, getting past mistakes, self-discipline.
Play for fun, not performance
Singing provides a mental lift
Music can inspire, motivate, and boost confidence
Video games and classical music
Kelly thinks she is learning "Ode to Joy" only to learn it is "Jesu Joy of Man's Desiring"
