JUST HOW IMPORTANT IS IT 

TO BE ABLE TO SING?

Consider what these have to say...


A CHILD PSYCHOLOGIST SAYS:

  “Music is a tonic to the body and spirit---the best way to calm irritated nerves, to replace fatigue with fitness, is rest in an atmosphere filled with music.  It will help nervous children, brighten dull ones, refresh weary ones, and delight eager ones.  Learning to sing and singing with a group help to develop self-confidence and aids immeasurably in overcoming shyness and timidity.”                                                    Dr. Angelo Patri     

                        

A DOCTOR SAYS:

“Singing helps to develop and strengthen the lungs and respiratory organs and helps the entire body resist disease.”                                                             

 Dr. H. Moore, M.D.

                                    

AN EDUCATOR SAYS:

“We are only beginning to learn that the right kind of music 
and singing taught to children while they are young has the
power to change the course and destiny of their lives.”   

Dorothy Brombley                                                        


A CRIMINOLOGIST SAYS:

“The child who receives music training and who finds joy in singing and making music will not make mischief.  The girl who sings and plays the piano does not pick your pockets; the boy who sings and draws the violin bow is not the boy who draws a gun.”                J. Edgar Hoover 

                      

A U.S. PRESIDENT SAYS:

 “The person who says music is a luxury and non-essential is doing the nation an injustice. Music and singing now, more than ever before is a national need.  There is no greater force for peace and happiness.  Music and singing makes for better citizenship, takes out hate and envy, it unifies and inspires, it is the common tie between races and nations.  Indeed, music and singing is the spiritual and patriotic bulwark of our land.”  

Woodrow Wilson

                                       

A PHILOSOPHER SAID:

Aristotle  (320 B.C.)

 “Because music has so much to do with the molding of the character, it is necessary that we teach it to our children.”
