We all love to make assumptions.
When we are at a busy intersection and see someone holding a sign asking for money, we assume they lack employment and a solid place to live.
When we see an older person in a car going 20 m.p.h. below the speed limit, we assume they are challenged in all that by takes to manage a 4,000-pound vehicle.
When we hear someone singing next to us and they can’t carry a tune, we assume – well, what do we assume?
I can definitely carry a tune – I’m close to having perfect pitch. However, I cannot carry a beat, for the life of me.
One of the most challenging aspects of living in Africa for five years was dancing in church. (Dancing is part of worship in Kenya, at least in many of the churches we attended.)
Since I can’t carry a beat, I can’t dance. I can’t clap and sing at the same time.
So the Rhythm Discovery Center is not the place for me. And I disagree – not everyone has rhythm.
