bring peace to me. Music helps me express my emotions and feel them.

2. Do you sing or play a musical instrument? Are you part of any musical group?

singing but during my senior high school days, I am a part of our school choir.

Gees, Air Supply, Chicago, The Beatles and Bryan Adams.

4. How do you use music in everyday situations?

- It depends on the situation but sometimes I use music as an entertainment and
to relax myself. I also listen to music every time I have a problem for me to
forget it easily but it really depends on my moods and how I engage with it.

5. How do you perceive musicians in general?

- I perceive them as an artist and a life changer because of how their music can
change a person’s feelings and perspective. Musicians really save a lot of
people from sadness and even depression from their harmonies, lyrics and
rhythm that one can relate. It also makes other people happy by simply
listening to it. It can also change one’s perception of life and it has a message
that people can get to connect with their feelings and emotions.

6. Give an instance in your life where music has greatly helped or affected you.
- As an adult, I overthink a lot with everything and that is where music has
helped me to calm and be positive. Music really change the way I think and
how I express my emotions. And also as a student, I listen to different songs to
release my stress and relax. I’m just of one of those persons who really see
music not only for entertainment but also beyond of that.
7. How can the music that you listen to or perform define you as a person?
- I think music doesn’t really define a person because it only shows a hint of their
personality, experiences and emotions with the kind of music genre or song
they tend to choose. For me, music reveals some parts of my personality on
what music I listen to, just like listening to rock music it imparts that I’m
expressive and it affects me in a positive way.
