Dear Humans

I like to sing, so we do it a lot in class: US states, morning greetings, multiples of 7, and other sundry nonsense. I’m not particularly great at it. But don’t let lack of skill diminish your joy in something. It often makes it more fun.

Plus, just like humans are inherently moved by stories, there’s something special about rhythm and rhyme. They help us remember things because they help us connect to those things. And likewise connects us to other people.

Think of special life moments and you can be pretty sure there will be a song: first wedding dance, funeral processions, start of a new year, and happy birthdays. So keep singing.

Sincerely,

Mr. Curt
