My secondary source may become an extra source, if I am able to find a stronger

secondary source option. I thought it would be interesting to analyze a blog board,
reading people’s comments and misconceptions and comparing it to scientific evidence.

This subject of study is interesting to me because it affects me directly as a musician. I

have always been curious if it is true.

Hypothesis: I expect to find that it is true, as I have discussed this a bit with friends. It
will be interesting to compare those talks with the facts and data.
