We all try and sing, maybe in the shower, in the car, doing kareoke etc. The soul is attracted too music and song because it bypasses the ego and we can all identify either with the words and feelings or the frequency of the tune. It is even said music elevates us too the heights of God. website about song.“The Value of Music: The Right to Play”
“The Salzburg Global Seminar meeting on The Transformative Power of Music believes that music is a proven gateway to engaged citizenship, personal development and well-being. Only through urgent and sustained action can we foster a new generation of energised, committed, self-aware, creative and productive members of society.
“ The inspiration and rewards unleashed by music are universal benefits that must be available to all as a human right. All children from the earliest age should have the opportunity to:
• unlock musical creativity,
• fulfil musical potential,
• develop musical expertise,
• shine for their musical achievements,
• encounter great music from all cultures, and
• share their new-found skills of creativity, teamwork, empathy, and discipline.
Providing these opportunities should be the responsibility of society supported by the education system, arts organisations, media and funding bodies working together. There are vital needs for:
• music education for all from the earliest age by experienced teachers,
• affordable access to training at all levels of ability,
• supportive communities nurturing children regardless of background – geographic, socio-economic, cultural,
• sustainable financial resources providing reliable support, and
• pathways to pursue excellence.
