THE VIRTUAL CHOIR
Imagine having the opportunity to sing together with hundreds of other people while you are at home alone.You can do this in a virtual choir.Virtual choir members record themselves while they perform alone on video.These videos are uploaded onto the Internet,and then they are put together into one video that you can see online—a virtual choir.Anyone can take part in a virtual choir from anywhere—all you need is a video camera and an Internet connection.You do not even need a studio.A virtual choir helps connect ordinary people together.Many people do not have close friends or contacts who have the same interest in music.Many others do not have the chance to join a local choir.A virtual choir enables them to add their voices to those of other
individuals and become part of the global community.It has proved to be a positive influence on the lives of many people.As one virtual choir member said,“Music helps me to ...forget my problems.With music,I become someone else.”
