Let The Learning Continue!

Hi everyone!
     In regards to my Genius Hour project topic of music therapy for those diagnosed with a mental health disorder, and those undiagnosed, I have found that there is a lot of interesting information all over the web! I've gathered background research on what exactly music therapy is, and even more information on how it can be implemented in different ways to different people. However, what I have learned most on my journey to complete this project so far, is actually about myself, and what it takes to fully immerse yourself into a project such as this.
     For instance, I have learned that participating in a Genius Hour project is quite the commitment.

These projects involve a lot of time and effort to be put in, but when done properly, they are a lot of fun! The key, as I have said in previous posts is to find a topic that you find to be of interest to you, or that you are passionate about, and to go from there. This is something that I am beginning to understand more and more as I continue with this project, as I am finding myself to motivated to continue researching and working due to the interest I have in music and music therapy.
     I have also found that I like having my own timeline for this project that I would like to follow.

I have found that with my own timeline to follow, I am working harder to follow it, in order to please myself, and be proud of the hard work and dedication that I have put in. I find myself being motivated to continue on with my research due to what is part of the exact definition of a Genius Hour project, passion and the exploration of my own creativity with what I find.
