“You know, I think many of us probably have memories of history maybe not being the most exciting subject when we were growing up,” says Chad Sonka, new executive director of Savannah VOICE Festival (SVF).
“However, some of our most engaging memories of learning history or any subject were more than likely accompanied by song. We learn our ABCs through music; we learn our fifty states to a jingle. It’s why School of Rock and Veggie Tales were so beloved. It’s why my friends and I memorized the Bill of Rights by putting it to the tune of ’12 Days of Christmas’ in eighth grade.”
