Text SING FOR PURE JOY! There is a proverb from Zimbabwe that states..."If you can walk, you can dance...If you can talk, you can sing." There is an increasing interest in the emotional, physical and psychological benefits of singing - particularly regular group singing. "It exercises major muscle groups in the upper body. It is a wonderful aerobic activity that improves the efficiency of your cardiovascular system and encourages you to breathe deeply, taking more oxygen into your lungs. Recent studies have shown that it improves neurological functioning." ( Alice Wignall - The Guardian)And it is FUN! Learn songs, chants & rounds from around the world. All voices are welcome. No written music is used. No experience needed. All songs are taught by call & response. Call Mary Dennison 285-3764 or e-mail mmadennisontelus.net.
