About this listen

From lullabies to songs for the dying, this is a fascinating exploration of singing in all its varied forms, from the personal perspective of a music therapist, teacher and performer. In interrogating her own life experience and using the latest scientific research and experiences of other singers and specialists, the author investigates the way singing works and why it is re-establishing itself as an essential aspect of contemporary life, inspiring listeners to participate in the ongoing revolution, doing for singing what The Well-Gardened Mind and Why We Eat did for our diets.

If you haven't already discovered the joy of singing together with others then this book might persuade you to do so. The benefits are explained with highly personal examples backed by sound science. For me, the book improved as it went along and by the end I didn't want to leave it.

interesting, heartfelt and possibly lufe-changing
