Justin Harrison's curator insight, November 11, 2018 10:20 PM
This article is very insightful. It proves that music isn't just entertainment but it is in some cases great for medical use. It can help individuals with schizophrenia with social skills. Music also is a key asset in the progression of children's cognitive and social skills. This website is reliable because although it is a blog it listed multiple different perspectives and a lot of factual information on the education system and society as a whole. I would not say this is a site for audio professionals as it mainly talks about society not music.
