"Music is so important for children. They respond to it acutely."

Making music, singing, or dancing helps children's development, says musical star Brigitte Heitzer (whose work includes Evita). She wants all children to have access to music, even if there's no money at home. That's why she's an ambassador for the Youth Fund for Sports and Culture.

"Music is my life, my outlet. It makes me so happy and I'm so glad I've been able to make it my profession," says Brigitte. "Music is so important for children. Children respond to it acutely, even babies in the womb. If you're not feeling well, music can help. When children make music or dance, it helps their development enormously. It's such a shame that music lessons at school are no longer a given. As a result, children have to take music lessons outside of school, and that costs money. That's why I'm happy to be an ambassador for the Youth Fund for Sports & Culture. Even if there's no money at home, children should be able to take music lessons. That's what I'm committed to!"
