Imagine having the opportunity to sing together with hundreds of other people while you are at home alone. You can do this in a virtual choir.

who
Virtual choir members record themselves while they perform alone on video. These videos are uploaded onto the Internet, and then they are put together into one video that you can see online—a virtual choir. Anyone can take part in a virtual choir from anywhere—all you need is a video camera and an Internet connection. You do not even need a studio.

A virtual choir helps connect ordinary people together. Many people do not have close friends or contacts who have the same interest in music. Many others do not have the chance to join a local choir. A virtual choir enables them to add their voices to those of other individuals and become part of the global community.
why
It has proved to be a positive influence on the lives of many people. As one virtual choir member said, “Music helps me to … forget my problems. With music, I become someone else.”

Activity 8: Write a speech about how music
can change a person’s life.
Hello! My name is John, and I’m here to talk about the power of music over words. Two years ago, my grandmother passed away, and music has helped me cope since then.
Sometimes words cannot describe what we are feeling, but music can. As Hans Christian Anderson once said, “Where words fail, music speaks.” Music is like a special language that everyone can understand.
Sample writing
Have you ever heard a piece of music and remembered an important time in your life Perhaps when something important happened, or when you felt really happy or sad. I feel this way about a piece of classical music by Eric Satie called “Gymnopedie No. 1”. It reminds me of my grandmother. It is like an old friend comforting me when I hear it.
Sample writing
This music helps me remember how much I miss her. It helps me remember all the great times we had. And music helps me be grateful for that time together. If you struggle to find the words to help you, music can be your guide.
