Music and language organize sounds in time and space. Music introduces order, structure, timing, rhythm. It affects breath dynamics, heart rate, agitation. It affects the colour of our feelings, visual associations. He is simply a natural ‘teacher’ of life. The fetus reacts to music changes in motor activity. Babies respond to the music they hear, and they can imitate simple rhythms. It's got melody and intonation in it. The right brain hemisphere is liable for recognizing melody, rhythm, images, for understanding language and spatial orientation.

Singing and playing the instrument develops muscle coordination. The melodies and musical tracks containing the beginning, the mediate part and the ending form a foretaste of grammar. It turns out that good tonal memory and chord analysis is closely related to literacy. Children who achieved the best performance in music besides show the highest “age of reading”.

Singing has a peculiarly strong effect on the improvement of proceeding and voice. These properties form the basis of spoken and written language. any children, diagnosed as dyslexic, are little efficient in reading the sounds of speech and “don’t hear” certain subtle sounds in peculiar words and yet singing and chanting is simply a natural experience of slowing down the sounds of speech, which increases the chance of proceeding all the ingredients of the word.

The vowels utilized in singing have an extended duration. The placing of words in the musical context gives both the vocalist and the listener more time to hear and process all sounds within each word, and especially vowel sounds, which represent the timbre and form of the word. These are essential elements in the process of reading and pronunciation.

The process of extracting sounds and voice is crucial due to the improvement of the ‘internal ear’, which leads to the mastery of the sounds of speech and written language.

Most vocal music derives from spiritual rituals. During their course, music was taught by rhythmic repetitions. The songs were a stylized form of speech.

Singing and dancing can be a form for the top energies of the soul, for the hottest exuberance, erstwhile trying to give interior joy, deep gratitude, pride and a sense of unity and harmony with the universe:

Praise the meadows,

Mountains, green valleys.
Praise, shadow gaiki,
Sources and winding streams!

What plays with the sea waves,

In the air, he swings wings,
Praise the woman of the planet with us,
Her hand is tied.

She, the works of God's crown,

above the angels exalted;
Though you are the woman of heaven, of earth,
He does not despise our gifts.

Grateful streams of purr,

The birds of sweet quince,
And how he feels and what he lives,
Praise Mary with us! * Oh, my God *

It is hard to imagine the atmosphere of the Polish May, the most beautiful – as it is commonly said – month, without the mentioned song by Father Karol Antoniewicz “Praise the May meadows” which not only fills our temples, but reaches under the clouds, equal to the singing of the heavenly birds, erstwhile accompanied by the prayers of people who are inactive gathering “in May” at the roadside chapels.

Young Karol Wojtyła, writing in 1 of the early works about his “Slavic soul”, emphasized that in it he discovers “prays the cordial devotion that I perceive to all day.”
