The method I used in selecting my music pieces were selecting a combination of songs that were relaxing, as well as some upbeat songs. Many songs I chose did not have lyrics. Some songs sounded similar to Indian folk songs or beats. Additionally, I chose songs I would not find annoying to listen to multiple times. Furthermore, I chose one Indian song as a tie to my Indian culture. Even though I had never heard this song before, I enjoy the music produced by the sitar, as it relaxing.
