1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,880
Music is what emotions sound like.
2
00:00:02,880 --> 00:00:05,400
It's a language we all understand,
3
00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:08,800
regardless of skin color or where we call home.
4
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:12,360
Music helps our human experience make sense.
5
00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:16,480
Now, despite evidence that music improves cognitive skills,
6
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:19,620
increases feelings of accomplishment and well-being,
7
00:00:19,620 --> 00:00:23,600
the benefits of equitable music learning without bias
8
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:24,880
seems a dream.
9
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:27,880
What if we could connect our kids to resources
10
00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:31,000
to help them learn music online free of charge,
11
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:34,240
helping them connect with the tools they need?
12
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:36,800
Together, we have the power to change
13
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:40,520
what music learning looks, feels, and sounds like
14
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:42,360
for today's youth.
15
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:45,520
Technology is really the key to unlocking
16
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:49,480
how we can reach communities that have been impacted
17
00:00:49,480 --> 00:00:54,320
so heavily by the issues like funding and resources
18
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:58,080
and how do we get access to music learning
19
00:00:58,080 --> 00:00:59,360
in different forms.
20
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:02,200
So that's really the work of what we're doing
21
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:04,880
with the Sound of Man V Music Project.
22
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:09,880
The mission is to use technology to bring music to students,
23
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:14,840
the use of streaming to reach kids.
24
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:17,360
Because the one thing, as I said, during the pandemic,
25
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:22,520
we saw kids using smart devices, tablets, smartphones,
26
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:24,560
to access learning.
27
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:29,280
Kids that were not able to go to school, A, disappeared,
28
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:33,280
or B, were trying to find access to Wi-Fi or what have you,
29
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:35,920
sitting in McDonald's, they were showing on the news,
30
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:37,120
things like that.
31
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:39,320
That's really what started me thinking about
32
00:01:39,320 --> 00:01:41,760
how the music industry, which all of a sudden
33
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:46,600
was making billions and billions of dollars on streaming,
34
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:49,560
how can we put these two pieces together
35
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:54,560
and try to find ways to help spark the music education
36
00:01:56,880 --> 00:02:01,880
so that we can bring the communities back getting music.
37
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:06,440
Music and arts saved me when I was a kid.
38
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:11,440
The fact that I had music and I had that escape as a kid,
39
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:16,960
it's something that I really want to give back with.
40
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:20,360
For the Pianopod's upcoming episode, I interviewed
41
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:23,400
Lisa Whaley, music education activist,
42
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:26,440
social entrepreneur, change agent.
43
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:30,720
As the founder of the Sound of Humanity Music Project, Inc.,
44
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:34,520
she is passionate about advancing music education equity
45
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:35,960
for all youth.
