Feature 4: Music Innovation Lab ⤵
One of the biggest reward for being a Jack of All Trade is learning something new for the first time. In this issue, we introduce this idea in the form of music. We invited several participants to try and learn several new instruments for the first time, and documented the results. We're interested in what this experience means to them and how it changes their perspective about music.
