  The music is interesting, but it sounds very synthetic. I would have like to see more of how each person "played" their instruments. How do you play a string instrument verses a woodwind?

e it boosts inclusion, he explains. "Before, the kid who struggled to play an instrument was given a triangle and told to sit out of the limelight, trying to keep in time. Now that kid, can open up GarageBand and press some chords on a guitar or piano. That kid is now involved with their classmates, that kid is engaged, having a great time, and learning too!
