'Singing is about participation. It is about being in the world. It is about wellbeing, everyday life, help and comfort. It is not for one minute about whether you have a good voice. It is not only about choir singing, pop music or opera. It is about taking part with your voice. This lovely book makes these points loud and clear.' -- Professor Tia DeNora

'Singing is about participation. It is about being in the world. It is about wellbeing, everyday life, help and comfort. It is not for one minute about whether you have a ""good"" voice. It is not only about choir singing, pop music or opera. It is about taking part with your voice. This lovely book makes these points loud and clear.' -- Professor Tia DeNora ‘This book on singing is very pleasurable and easy to read, and is written in an engaged, straight-forward, and competent manner. The book will provide an interesting and easily-understandable introduction to laypeople with no prior knowledge on singing and the “arts for health” movement, and will also be relevant and useful reading for health practitioners, singing and music professionals, and even experienced researchers.’ -- Mette Kaasgaard
