Humanity has used music since time immemorial for celebrations, for community, for worship; in our modern world, most people listen to music by professional musicians rather than making their own music. This book encourages everyone, regardless of musical ability, to experience the power of singing and chants.

It provides guidance for singers, musicians and composers with meditation techniques and practical answers to questions. Techniques include listening to music with the heart, how to sweeten the voice, overcoming stage fright, how the audience can become silent participants in creating a concert.

Sri Chinmoy offered inspiration to musicians including Leonard Bernstein, Ravi Shankar, Roberta Flack, Pablo Casals, and Mahavishnu John McLaughlin.
