Food for Thought (#41)

Posted by on Mar 05 2010 | Food For Thought, Songtaneous

“Singing is the outward manifestation of our souls. [S]inging 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

Thanks to my friend Ann, I got to see this keynote address by (and briefly meet) Howard Goodall, the UK’s National Ambassador of Singing.

(How cool a title is that?! *wink*).

Goodall was instrumental in implementing Sing Up, a national, government-funded program dedicated to making “sure that singing is at the heart of every primary school child’s life.”

“It takes a lot of courage to release the familiar and seemingly secure, to embrace the new. But there is no real security in what is no longer meaningful. There is more security in the adventurous and exciting, for in movement there is life, and in change there is power.”
– Alan Cohen
