MUSICCan you imagine living
in a world without
sounds? There are sounds
that we could just as
well do without like
the sounds of a
jackhammer digging
up outside your
window, or the weed
eater that awakes
you early Sunday
morning.
But there are other sounds that give almost everyone a distinct feeling of pleasure like the sounds of the waves crashing against the rocks, a stream splashing down a mountainside, or a symphony orchestra.
Personal influence on my life

so many ways. I have become more
confident in public speaking and
performance.
Music has helped me build stronger self
esteem and shaped the individual that I
have become today.

QuoteMusic takes the words from
the brain onto the paper
Playing
Classical music causes the
heart beat and pulse to relax
to the beat of the music.
As the body becomes relaxed
and alert the mind is able to
concentrate more easily.
ListeningClassical music helped me a
great deal while I was studying
for my degree.
It decreased my stress level
and blood pressure and
enhanced the ability to learn.

me to many levels and ways to
arrange pieces for choir.

sometimes have difficulty
solving while doing nothing.

Professional influence on my
life
Like my personal life, music has helped
me build the way I perform my duties
professionally.
I am a teacher by profession and teach
Music to two institutions plus Electronic
Document Preparation & Management
(EDPM)
Professional influence
While teaching my students I am very creative in my approach to any topic
I create new ways of presenting topics to them especially when teaching classical, romantic or baroque kinds of music
Students now are more interested in listening to the music that have profane language.
Professional influence
I capture their attention by giving the brief
history and letting them listen to and see
the trend of the songs that are being
played today. They all came from what
was written before.
I have learnt to plan my lessons effectively
and efficiently and also events like
concerts and other activities pertaining to
music in the schools and community
Professional influence
My course of study was Human resource management and as you know the basic functions of a manager is planning, executing, communicating, team management, leadership skills and time management.
Music has helped me become more efficient in all the areas named above.
