'A must-read for anyone moved by the power of song' - Lesley
Garrett, CBE Singing has always been there for us, at the root of
what it is to be a human being. Through personal anecdote and
scientific fact-finding, this book celebrates the way song inspires
and heals us, from the cradle to the grave, and in the process does
for singing what The Well-Gardened Mind did for nature, and what
Why We Eat did for our diets. As a singing therapist, teacher and
performer, Julia Hollander is in a unique position to consider
singing's importance to our wellbeing, charting its extraordinary
influence on all aspects of our spiritual, emotional and physical
lives. Why do parents feel compelled to sing to their newborns, and
how does it help their development? What is it about song that
brings communities together in harmony but also in protest? How
come an activity that helps to embed languages and maths formulae
can also be used to rehabilitate Long Covid sufferers? And what
magic is at work when people who have lost the power to speak are
still able to sing? By delving into her own life experiences, and
calling on those of her fellow singers, the author seeks to answer
these questions, underpinning her findings with the latest
scientific research. In so many walks of life, people of all ages
and backgrounds are waking up to the joys of singing, its power to
give hope and connection in a fragmented world. Song-making is
available in an increasingly broad range of social and therapeutic
contexts, prescribed by doctors and community services. This book
offers explanations for why this should be, and inspiration to
anyone who loves to sing.
