On the transformative power of music, it is a thesis that has been driving since the mid-twentieth century in the world, when they massively spread the techniques of music therapy, and even much more attention to the effects of music was provided in various fields of human endeavor.
However, the small Venezuelan national instrument has a wonderful virtue: it is easy to play, easy to transport and handle, is quite accessible acquisition technique to touch it, and you can even access videos through YouTube which explains its execution mode.
