 * Article Evaluation
 * The lead of the article is very informative. The article introduction is descriptive and informative. I would not say it is concise, but the length of the descriptions are justified. Moreover, the editors have done a splendid job of tying the topic into different categories for the audience. The organization of the article standouts the most. Clearly the amount topics related to the post imply that the topic overall has been studied. The bottom of the article provides many credible sources and the necessary imagery to help the audience visual Music Therapy.
 * Also, the article does a good job of explaining how music therapy applies to children, medical disorders, and culture. While analyzing the article I realized there may not be much I could add on to. Like stated above, this article is very descriptive and has multiple sources to back it up. Clearly there has been a substantial amount of editing done to this topic, moreover it is too broad of a subject. However, I could focus on an area that is untouched.

Option 2

 * Article title: Musical Hallucinations
 * Link: Musical hallucinations
 * Article Evaluation
 * To start off, the article has substance, but there is a lot of room for editing. Moreover, as I read the article, I felt that in many sections it was lacking information. Moreover, it is an outlet for people interested in giving input into the wiki article. The lead in was very short and I felt that I still did not grasp what the topic was about. To the next section, the description is dry. It lacks content and focuses on a specific research study conducted by two researchers. While the topic is legit and up to date, there is a need for more research to be done on the article.  The article is neutral and focuses on the facts. Overall, this an article that covers the class material and can use more input.

Option 3

 * Article title: Amusia
 * Link Amusia
 * Article Evaluation
 * To start off, this article gave me sufficient insight on the topic. I felt that the lead in did a great job describing what Amusia is and explaining different types. Compared to the previous article, there is a better analysis of what the disease is. Moreover, there is sufficient information about different types of treatment and symptoms. Overall, as the reader this is very insightful. There are many references and sources used for the article. Another, great thing about this article is that it is well organized. I think it is balanced and the reader does not feel overwhelmed with the information. The tone is very consistent and straight to the point. While editing the article I believe it could use images. The images can give the article imagery.
