The healing benefits of singing together has been proven through research and most importantly through human experience. I see the students' eyes in my general music classes light up when they experience the joy of singing together the songs of our culture.

With a new instrument, my students will more fully experience the joy for making music together and connecting with others through this universal form of expression.
