Peggy Weston, author and indie publisher ~
"I have questioned with a deeper curiosity why singing initiates such strong feelings."
"Vocal healing is still a mystery. How does it work?"
Peggy Weston packs a lot in this treasure, exploring the origin of song, the evolution of language to lyrics; how and why sound - thus singing, affects us so deeply on different levels. The diversity of music genres is celebrated, and why their music messengers are to be appreciated. She shares history, science, physiology, and joy in this legacy for all.
