RHIAN RAMOS ON MUSIC's HEALING POWER
Inclusive ang RMA Studio Academy kaya nasabi ni Rhian na “safe space” ang RMA Studio Academy sa mga mahilig kumanta.
Hina-highlight ng initiative ng RMA Studio Academy ang transformative power ng performing arts, fostering confidence, courage, and true inclusivity under the spotlight while raising awareness for special education advocacy.
Pahayag ni Rhian: “Definitely I love being with RMA and supporting also everything that they do. Kasi nga, they really make a safe space for people to express themselves through music.
“I’m very lucky to be friends with these people, and very lucky that they help me out. If ever I have a live performance, they train me before it also.”
Sinasabi na ang music ay may healing power…
“I believe that. Super, super, super! Ahhmm I think it’s one of the things that makes you ahhh know that whatever you’re going through, you’re not the only one,” tugon ni Rhian.
Nakatulong ba ang music para sa paghilom niya sa mga pinagdaanang pagsubok sa buhay?
“Oh yeah. Parang for every era naman of life, parang I use music to experience it more,” mabining sambit ng aktres.
'“Para bang, you know, like when you’re going through something happy, you have happy songs all the time.
“And when you’re going through something sad, you have sad songs all the time.
“And like you listen to them and you understand it in a new way when you hear it. Depende sa pinagdadaanan mo. Parang ganun.”
