    In Aldous Huxley’s “Brave New World”, citizens live without individuality, intelligence, and emotions, all of which can be connected to the absence of playable music. In the real world, everyone is affected by music that they listen to or create themselves, but it is truly underestimated. People have the distinguished ability to express their individuality through the varying types of music in the world and how they react to it. Being a musician can challenge someone’s mental and physical abilities and, if they accept the challenge, can make them more intelligent and capable members of society. Music can also cater to one’s differing emotions and help them to understand their feelings and coping methods.…

    My name is Elda Feratovic and I am a sophomore at St. Francis College. Being that it is my second year as an undergraduate, I have dedicated my studies in Biology in hope to later concentrate in the Nursing field.

Growing up, my mother played Serbian music in the house so that I would better understand the language in which my parents spoke.…

    Loving music is more than just liking it, it's a passion if you like making music. For me music is what I go to when I'm not in the the mood it helps you get things out of your mind things you don't want to think of and that's what I like about music it can distract you from other bad things. This is also a good fit for me because you work for yourself like making beats you produce them and people who want to do something with it pay you that's what I like I've never liked people telling me what to do so this career is great. You get to go on vacation anytime you want whenever you want. No one is there to tell you what days you have to work what hours you decide your own hours, you decide whether you stay in bed all day and work later or if you get up out of bed and make a banger something the people would…
