Melanie Martinez Album Review By Isabella Carlow
If I had to describe this album in one word, it would be ethereal. Every part of this album, ranging from the instruments, the vocals, and the sound effects is absolutely magical. I think Melanie Martinez is super talented and deserves all the support and fans she has. For me, this is a no-skip album, and after reading this others might come to appreciate it as much as I do.
Why Do We Always Hear the Same Songs Around the Holidays? BY FINNEGAN JOHNSON
You may have noticed every year around this time, as you're walking through a store, flipping through the radio, or at a holiday party, that the songs playing are the same you’ve heard in years prior. The school held its Winter Concert this month on the 14th, among the songs played are Silver Bells, Baby, It’s Cold Outside, and Jingle Bell Rock, all songs long familiar to the public (there were other, less familiar tunes performed however). It’s rare that there are any notable changes to the Christmas song canon; we hear the same songs every year, to some people’s chagrin and to other’s delight - Why is this?
The Healthy Benefits of Music that is Surely “Pop” for the Soul! BY Samuel Hiers
Music is, indeed, one of the most highly developed art forms in culture. Yet we often go about listening to music so much that we take for granted what it is doing for our greater good, something better than just enjoying it. That is, music has a variety of different impacts on our physical and mental health, which I think is worthwhile to share with the world. So sit back and relax, plug in your earbuds, find a soothing track, and enjoy a gift from me to you - learn what roles music can “play” in you?
The Importance of Music and Mental Health by Lawrence Cabbabe
Around this time last year, Coventry High School went into Lockdown from Covid-19, changing how students, teachers, and the world could operate. The sudden changes in lifestyle brought more stress into people’s lives, causing them to look for new outlets to deal with stress. One popular source they used was music.
Quarantunes By Lawrence Cabbabe
For many people, myself included, music helps them throughout their day whether it be through schoolwork, a bike ride, a drive, and so much more. But since the same songs are played so often on the radio, you listen to the same songs you like so much that you begin to hate them. That is why I tried to make a Spotify playlist that may help introduce you to some new songs, old songs, songs you’ve heard before, and some you may even add to your own playlists.
Weezer’s Black Album a Disappointment BY ELLIOT MANN
I am a bit of a music geek. I listen to music every chance I get-- walking through the hallways, on the bus, and even in class (sometimes). And Weezer has been one of the bands that helped to develop my taste in music.
Perception Album Review By Stephen Russo
Perception was an album by American rapper, singer, songwriter Nathan Feuerstein, or NF, who is most known for his hit song “Let You Down”. This album was released in October of 2017, but many of the songs from the album have been hitting mainstream radars recently. There were many standout tracks on this album, including […]
Music Genre Spotlight By Kaicie Boeglin
Characteristics of deathcore can be blast beats, down tuned guitars, growled lyrics, breakdowns and then metal riffs and tuning. Low growls and deep shrieks may not be every listeners perfect tune, but these vocalists deserve some credit. It takes talent and practice to be able to control your vocal cords in such a way that one would be able to manipulate their voice in varying octaves.
Music and the Brain: How Musical Training Can Help One’s Learning Abilities By Lily Mancini
Coordination and auditory discrimination skills can be increased through playing an instrument. Music requires many factors to play one note, including hand eye coordination to the instrument, reading the sheet swiftly and correctly, hearing what the note sounds like and should sound like in pitch and tone to the rest of the band, and being able to change that sound through the mouth or hand in exact timing. Over time, this builds tremendous reading and listening skills as well as coordination.

Exploring the Magical World of Encanto: A Critical Analysis By Josephina Johnson
What is it that makes Encanto enjoyable to a vast age range? Is there something in the movie that is truly deep and meaningful, so that it can touch all age groups, and perhaps, eventually, touch future generations if Encanto becomes a classic? Or is it a commercial and consumeristic aspect of marketing and catchy songs?
