Cross-train your brain!
See videos below.
Singing and music making connect people and transform the experience of being alive. A 5th Grade Chorus; Bobby McFerrin; Playing for Change; Haiti.
Music making activates more areas of the brain than any other singular activity. It awakens the emotions, makes people feel good, and helps the brain recover from injury: Margot Gardot; Alzheimer's; "Aha Moment"!
Singing boosts our Immunoglobulin A (IgA), a disease-fighting protein (see Research Studies) and music making enhances vitality, health, well being and possibly longevity. Young@Heart; Mayo Clinic.
“Singing is the outward manifestation of our souls. [Singing] is not a luxury, it’s not a plug-in, it’s not a nicety, it’s not a small entertainment for lunch time for some of the children; it is every child’s birthright. And our mission is to bring that back to our 21st-century modern communities. That singing is not a luxury; it is our children's birthright.”
-Howard Goodall, National Ambassador for Singing (England) speaking about transforming classrooms through SingUp.
