Last year I read a 1 study that showed that pre-school and kindergarten children no
longer believe they can sing songs.Little children have somehow got the impression that the
definition of song is "what you hear 2 _singing on the radio".And when teachers try to 3 these
children that they 4 sing,the kids just don't see the point.Why should they struggle to perform a
5 version that only their mothers could possibly love?It's so much easier to buy a CD and hear

14 we expect all our art to be ' supplied 15 highly competent professionals,the pressure on the
professionals becomes too great to bear.16 the number of musicians and artists who suffer from
drug addiction,alcoholism or even commit suicide because of the pressures of keeping 17 our
