​ Imagine if everyone in your street suddenly came out onto the road one day and started singing
together. Singing teacher Ruth Black believes it would make everyone so friendly that they would
never walk past each other again without saying hello.
​ Singing helps people live in peace together, she says. All over the world people have always
sung together and in most places, they still do, but in England it is no longer traditional. Nowadays,
says Ruth, people only sing together in churches and football grounds, although it could be done
anywhere. Everyone is able to sing, she says, but most of us either think we can't or have forgotten
what we learned as children.
​ Moreover, some people become so shy when performing to the crowds. However, as with
everything musical, you need to practice and the same applies to your voice. Ruth believes that
singing itself brings other benefits. It encourages good breathing, for example. Through singing,
people often become more confident and also learn to control stress. But more than anything, it
brings people together.
​ When Ruth first started singing, there was little opportunity to sing with others. Then, through
a friend, she discovered an excellent singing class and became so keen that she started to run her
own classes. These are held twice a month for all singers, whatever their level, and are now
enormously successful.
