The effects of music on the everyday

Discover how music can powerfully shape our actions, thoughts, and emotions from moment to moment.

In this energetic pairing of circus and music, Acrobat Gareth Bjaaland (Timmy) and musicians Rachel Johnston and Trent Arkleysmith bring Timmy to life and show students how music can influence their mood and actions.
