Imagine if everyone in your
street suddenly came out into the road one day and started singing together.
Singing teacher Ruth Black believes it would make everyone so friendly that
they would never walk past each other again without saying hello. It would help
people build a real community.
Singing help people live in peace
together, she says. All over the world people have always sung together and in
most places they still do, but in England
it is no longer traditional. Nowadays, says Ruth, people only sing together in
churches and football grounds, although it could be done anywhere. Everyone is
able to sing, she says, but most of us either think we can’t or have forgotten
what we learned as children.
However, as with everything musical,
you need to practise and the same applies to your
voice. Ruth believes that singing itself brings other benefits. It encourages
good breathing, for example. Through singing, people often become more
confident and also learn to control stress. But more than anything, it brings
people together.
When Ruth first started singing,
there was little opportunity to sing with others. Then, through a friend, she
discovered an excellent singing class and became so keen that she started
running her own classes. These are held twice a month for all singers, whatever
their level, and are now enormously successful.
