According to a group called the Voices Foundation, everyone has a singing voice as well as

a【66】______(speak) voice somewhere inside them. This, they say, should be【67】enc______ from an early age because it provides the best, and the【68】______(cheap) , basis on which to build an understanding of music.

The teachings of the Hungarian【69】______(compose) Zoltan Kodaly are responsible for this idea. He observed that songs can become a key part of the relationship【70】a mother and her child almost from birth. This is【71】es______true of traditional societies,【72】______those of West Africa, where some small children are able to sing literally【73】hun______of songs, all of which have been learnt by heart. However, many modern children first come to an understanding of music【74】______they learn to play an instrument,【75】______although some teaching of the theory of music is usually a part of this, their relationship with the music on the page is often a mechanical one.

The【76】______(believe) of the Voices Foundation is that a natural feeling for rhythm, harmony and musical structure, the very qualities we appreciate in the greatest musicians, can only be achieved through the【77】______(explore) of the music of the voice from the beginning of a person's life. The foundation has, therefore, set itself the task of【78】______a singing-centered musical education【79】pro______that could benefit junior pupils all【80】______the world.
