Music…A part of living

By: Unknown

Music is inherent in the very nature of man. The tiny infant will often respond to a rhythmic sound, beginning to hum even before speaking. Rhythm & music abound in nature all around us - the rhythmic drumming of the surf, the measured meter of rain, the winds, the melodic tunes of song birds. Music is in us, as well. It's an ability inherent in every child, simply awaiting development. Unfortunately some children may never know the joys of creating their own music, exploring their innate abilities or discovering the joys of this self expression. For most children, that opportunity comes but once. To be denied that opportunity is to forfeit this natural means of self expression.
