Join the Screamo/Emo Group
On the Youth Voices Screamo/Emo Group students began by asking each other:
- Why is music so important to us and why do we need it?
- Have you ever heard a song with such a deep meaning that it changed the way you think now?
Christian, a 10 grader at East-West School of International Studies, and the founding manager of the Screamo/Emo group invites you to add your thoughts about these questions.
