Sometimes adults talk about how music affects our emotions, feelings, minds, and bodies. But did you know that music affects animals too??

Click the link below and watch this video to see how this 80 year-old elephant named Ampan responds to the famous piece “Clair de Lune” written by Claude Debussy over 100 years ago! Notice how excited the elephant gets when the music becomes more intense around 2:15 in the video!

Ask your parents to help you send me a message saying how the music makes you feel at that point and I’ll be sure to respond to you!
