Ah so they are learning about American music. The Gryffindor Ace was beaming. He is totally in his element. Heck its been a great week thus far, first Charms had them cooking and now they're talking about music. Color him a happy!

Has music helped him? Oh boy where could he even begin... "Well Professor, music is what my dad and I bond over, he's a big fan and collector of most the tracks you played-- heck he named me after an American comedy rock band called Tenacious D...." how's that for helping out eh? "Music-- singing, playing instruments-- it helps me in many ways, its a form of self-expression, its great therapy, its a natural mood picker-upper. Good music does all that and more. Also good music transcends not just languages but also cultures, it transcends time. Mozart's The Marriage of Figaro has the same effect today as it did three hundred years ago."

Now as for music being bad.... "Hmm... music for the most part serves to inspire, it serves to bridge the gap, but some artists have used catchy tunes to glorify bad behavior, instigate anarchy. So I guess like magic, it depends on who wields it that determines if the effects are good or bad."
