I have for a long time felt and believed that music, as a form of performing arts, like all arts, is essential for the survival of a community. In the earliest time periods the people that survived were those that had rituals, such as burial, and art.
Music has the ability to provide a form of emotional expression. Singing because by its nature it is music with the addition of words has the ability to express ideas that are not normally formulated on a day to day basis. The process of a performance, with performer and audience can actually help both release feelings otherwise lodged within unrecognized.
