Memorable Monday
The Power of Music

Angela had her last performance with Mesa Children's Chorus on Saturday.  It was a great concert and they sang most of the songs that they learned this year.  She had a great time and made a lot of great friends.  

Music has taught Angela so much.  Angela didn't learn to talk until she was 4 years old.  When she started to talk, she used song lyrics to communicate.  I knew that music had a powerful effect on one's education, but I was amazed at how music helped Angela learn to talk and communicate.  She listens very clearly to the words of the songs and memorizes them quickly.  Angela sings with her whole heart and when she sings about baby Jesus or a lullaby, she gets choked up.  She really loves to sing and music gave her voice when she didn't have one - that's the power of music.
