Publisher's Synopsis
From lullabies to songs for the dying, this is a fascinating exploration of singing in all its varied forms, from the personal perspective of a music therapist, teacher and performer. In interrogating her own life experience and using the latest scientific research and experiences of other singers and specialists, the author investigates the way singing works and why it is re-establishing itself as an essential aspect of contemporary life, inspiring readers to participate in the ongoing revolution, doing for singing what The Well-Gardened Mind did for nature, and what Why We Eat did for our diets.
