Lucas S.S.<\/h3>\r\nFor many people, music is a part of their daily lives, providing enjoyment, pleasure, and motivation. Music plays an important role, particularly in the lives of musicians, as it enhances the working memory capacity of the brain. My project investigated the correlation between instrumental music exposure and memory capabilities. My findings show that musical experience and training have a direct correlation with memory capabilities.\r\n<div class=\"clear\"><\/div>\r\n<table class=\"award_table\">\r\n<tbody>\r\n<tr>\r\n<th>Award<\/th>\r\n<th>Value<\/th>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td>Excellence Award - Intermediate\r\nBronze Medal\r\nSponsor: Youth Science Canada<\/td>\r\n<td><\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr class=\"alt\">\r\n<td>Western University Scholarship\r\nBronze Medallist - $1000 Entrance Scholarship\r\nSponsor: Western University<\/td>\r\n<td>$1000<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<\/tbody>\r\n<\/table>\r\n<h3>Biography<\/h3>\r\nMy name is Sarah DeWeerd, and I am a grade 10 student at A.B. Lucas Secondary School. Science is equally a big part of my life as both music and the arts. I am actively involved in the music program at Lucas, participating in the intermediate band and enrolling in music courses. My passion for music and curious understanding lead me to the eventual realization of the positive effects that musical training was having on my own life, and was the starting point for the inspiration for my project. The process of completing this project has taught me the importance of continuing to ask questions and seeking out new opportunities to learn and grow as an individual.\r\n","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-10782","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t<!-- All in One SEO Pro 5.0.1.1 - aioseo.com -->\n\t<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"max-image-preview:large\" \/>\n\t<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/tvsef.ca\/?page_id=10782\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"generator\" content=\"All in One SEO Pro (AIOSEO) 5.0.1.1\" \/>\n\t\t<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n\t\t<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Youth Science London\/Thames Valley Science &amp; Engineering Fair - Grade 4-12 Science Engineering Fair.
