The bio-musical instrument is the most beautiful sounding and powerful musical instrument accessible to human beings.

Bio-music is music expressed audibly by human beings without the accompaniment of a musical instrument, although a musical instrument may be used. Forms of bio-music expressions include: whistling, humming, chanting, singing and psalming. The most natural and authentic bio-music expression is a capella.
While nearly everyone has some knowledge of whistling, humming, chanting and singing, not everyone is likely to be familiar with psalming. Psalming is a kind of singing that usually, but not always, involves spiritual songs but not necessarily religious songs.
Many verses and passages of the Bible readily lend themselves to psalming. Scriptures that I have composed psalming music for include Isiah 41:10, Habakkuk 3:17-18, Matthew 6:9-13 and Philippians 4:8. I have also composed psalming music for Howard Thuman's idea on love, Joyce Kilmer's idea on God and Kahlil Gibran's idea on Thanksgiving.
Psalming is a destinctive, powerful, soulful and spirit lifting music form. Oh that you could hear me psalming Proverbs 3:5-6. In the meantime, locate that Scripture and then just say it aloud in any musical manner that comes natural to you, but do not use anyone else's tune.
Bio-music is not only the earliest music made by humans, before they knew about musical instruments, but remains the most celebrated music to penetrate the human ear and heart of God. Because every person possesses a bio-musical instrument nobody need to be without authentic music that can be created at a person's will and at any time.
The challenge is to spend less time on or, to rid ourselves of, cell phones, spend less time watching televsion and listening to CD's and DVD,s and recorded music on the radio. Begin whistling, humming, chanting, singing and psalming. This will make you a healthier person and you will likely add years to your life. Paraphrasing the Prophet Jeremiah we hear, "But if I say, 'I will not make music, the music is in my heart like a fire, a fire shut up in my bones." (Jer. 20:9). Release the music within your soul or it will burn you to ashes. Much of the emptiness an meaninglessness plaguing humans is attibuted to their failure to release their bio-music. So begin now psalming - releasing your bio-music - and Planet Earth will become a more peaceful and delightful place to live, including your immediate environment. Wow!
