  Good mood, bad mood, calm or frenzied, there’s a song that can inspire or elevate that feeling for us all. There’s a reason why every great movie has an equally great soundtrack! Singing is something that can be intensely personal but can be experienced with people of all ages and cultures. But what about the mechanics of singing? How can we easily try to fit in more music into our family lives without it becoming a painful process or without the rolling of eyes (child and parent) over song choices?  Well, we may not be able to fix the rolling […]
