The Bible and Music

Before I started going to this class, when I heard the word “instrument” my mind would immediately go to the guitar, saxophone, tuba, drums, and other basic instruments. Now after going to this class for a while I have begun to look at the human voice as an instrument. Although it is the most noticeable part of almost every song I listen to, I just took it for granted. I thought all that went into being a good singer is having a good voice. Although this does play and important role in singing, the aspect that is even more important is the ability to control the pitch of your voice, just like you do on an instrument. I remember when I was very young I heard of people taking singing lessons and I did not really understand why someone would do that. I thought that being a good singer was something you were born with, but I know now that it is all about the ability to control your voice.
