Quotes By Margaret Whiting
That's really what was wonderful for me growing up, since I got to know so many of the songwriters who liked me and thought I had talent. They would then tell me how to read a lyric and sing a song, and challenge me to try and find a different end to a song.
Margaret Whiting
The way I teach people to sing... I have them talk the lyric out until it sounds like something they really believe, like an actor with a monologue.
Margaret Whiting
The musicians recommend that I sing a sing the way it is written the first time and then start to look for other notes that aren't in the melody.
Margaret Whiting
So many schools have cut the music classes out of their curriculum. We're trying to fill that gap by teaching the teachers how to educate the kids about their musical heritage.
Margaret Whiting
We teach young kids from 8 to 14 or 15 about their musical heritage through great songs written by American songwriters. We don't do too many modern composers, although we include songs from Billy Joel and other writers like him.
