My Project

Studies have shown that music produces several positive effects on a human’s body and brain. Music activates both the left side and right side of the brain at the same time, and the activation of both hemispheres can maximize learning and improve memory.

Music is a way to process emotions and strengthen focus when one is feeling overwhelmed.

People often turn to the music they can relate to as it helps them deal with stress in this way. So, if life has got you feeling a bit down, dazed, or distracted then it might be a good idea to put some music on while you study. Not only will it help you concentrate on your studies, it will also help keep stress at bay and put you in the learning mood.

The Headphones that I'm requesting will allow my students to listen to their personal choice of music while they work. Having their choice of music will help with allowing students to de-stress and refocus on their studies in my class.
