~~~SING FOR JOY!~~~
Ellen Brown
Singing, just for the fun of it, can be a part of everyone's life.
As an elementary music teacher, one of the most common (and saddest) comments I hear from parents is "You wouldn't want to hear me sing -- I sound terrible! I never sing at home." It seems to have become socially acceptable to denigrate our own and others' singing, and to shy away from singing.
This is a terrible loss to society and to our own joy in the world.

~~~MUSIC EDUCATION~~~
Dianne Gounardes
When we look at society, we define the members of that group
relative to their culture and their traditions. So much of this is conveyed
through the visual arts, the music, the dance and the drama of that group.
Therefore, in order to understand one's culture as a member of society,
it is necessary to learn about them in these terms. This education should
begin early in a child's life.
How does one educate the total child? The answer is obvious
to educators. In order to make the child whole, it is necessary to expose
them to all facets of things that they will encounter in life,. In a cultured
society, this must include exposure to the arts.
A study of music education reveals positive benefits to children
as they strive to achieve levels of academic success. Thus, children should
have an education rich in music.

born from the vivd imaginations of the
many composers, musicians, choreographers and conductors
who
collaborate to make
magical impressions over and over again with music.
The preparation for the singer seems to start in the womb.
Many singers remember singing as a child.
They remember looking in the mirror and knowing that they would one day
sing for many people. Perhaps they started by singing for the grandparents
on special holidays. They could have started in a church choir or
in the basement with a practicing band. Many singers began with a
favorite music teacher who discovered and encouraged their talent.
Now it is time to perform!!! Enjoy!
