A propos de ce titre

Synopsis

In making music, essential lessons for making a lifea celebration of singing and the creative spirit. Over twenty million Americans sing publicly in a choir, chorus, or other ensemble. In an irresistible writing voice, Joan Oliver Goldsmith celebrates this amateur world of songand revives the original meaning of the word "amateur" as lover. She brings the reader not only behind the scenes but inside the music itself. Above all, Goldsmith teaches us to listen to ourselves and not to hold back in playing the "invisible instrument" of the creative spiritwhether in writing poetry, restoring old cars, planting a garden, or singing a good old song.
