Letter: New mood inspires singing
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: David Lister twice mentions the fact that the Crouch End Festival Choir is made up of amateurs: "psychotherapists, city workers, shopkeepers and factory workers" (report, 11 June). Is he surprised?
Music-making, particularly singing, attracts enthusiasts of all ages from every part of society. Choral singing actively encourages teamwork, individual self-confidence, physical stamina and intellectual challenge; in fact, most of the aspects of social achievement promoted by our new government. I cannot imagine a more appropriate way for the Government to express the new mood of the nation than to promote music-making of all kinds in schools and communities around the country.
